JAMES m English, Biblical
Pronounced: JAYMZ
English form of the Late Latin Jacomus which was derived from Iakobos, the New Testament Greek form of Ya'aqob (see JACOB). In the New Testament James is an important apostle, the brother of the apostle John. According to the Book of Acts he was beheaded by Herod Agrippa. Another James is also mentioned in the Bible as being the brother of Jesus. Kings of England and Scotland have borne this name. Other famous bearers include the inventor of the steam engine James Watt, the explorer Captain James Cook, and the novelist and poet James Joyce. Not to mention the poet I share a birthday with, James Morrison


(one of those James who was the king of both England and Scotland, James the 5th of Scotland/James the first of England, the one responsible for our most popular version of the Bible, is a direct ancestor of mine....the "5" in my Lit name represents me being the 5th male in a direct line to carry my name)

Ah, they didn't know my names origins it said....but I do as I researched it a few years ago. It originated from án Australian indigenous name with very little change and is said to mean 'woman of the sea' and 'faithful companion'.

Both meanings seem to fit you quite well!

Thank you!! It was actually thought to have originated from the indigenous adaptation in the days of early colonisation when the only Anglo women in Australia were convicts and indentured servants/slaves. I am rapt to have found despite my mother's horror to be told (well she refuses to believe it) she chose a name of indigenous and historicl significance, that it has that deep tie to the history of a country and culture I feel is flowing in my blood no matter where I exist in time. Deadly, mate.

"your name is not found in this database"

So I used the English translation, which is from Greek, which is from the Hebrew form of the word meaning "God is my Oath" Also the mother of John the Baptist had the same name..

 

[TNRkitect2b]

BRIAN m Irish, English
Pronounced: BRIE-an
The meaning of this name is not known for certain but it is possibly related to the Old Celtic element bre meaning "hill", or by extension "high, noble". Brian Boru was an Irish king who thwarted Viking attempts to conquer Ireland in the 11th century. He was victorious in the Battle of Clontarf, but he himself was slain.

Well, with me around normal is sort of out of the question
And Madam Marsupial actually got me on the cold blooded obsession by inspiring the Gecko Sex thread

As for being the Lizard King, I *DO* share another James' birthday...James "Jim" Morrison

Well, my name is Kimberley. Depending on what site you go to, it means

1) Royal Fortress
2) Ruler
3) Leader of the Warriors
4) Royal Fortress Medow

Number 4 is most common, I think.

You know, oddly enough in the context of our other conversation, and I am NOT making this up, the first girl I ever talked in to showing me her tits was named Kimberley

Interesting..............
