No no. XD
Here in the US my first name is Emily
In Japan, my first name is Emiri on my documents, Emiri is a japanese name so it could be written in Kanji, but since my mother based the name off the English name it is written in Katakana.

My middle name is Michiko in both countries. Which is kinda weird in Japan since they don't have middle names there. In that the Kanji (chinese character) meaning beauty is used for the Mi, a kanji meaning wisdom is used for the chi part, and the kanji for child is used for the ko part of the name.

I hold dual citizenship so I have documentation for both countries.

My first name is Tiffany. I read a while back that it means Trinity, or three. My middle name is Lynne. I don't know what it means, but my mom added the E at the end because my dad's name is Lynn and she wanted it to be different. My brother's name is also Lynn. My last name is Alfonso. I read that it means "Noble and ready" or "ready for battle". And it's Spanish.
I used to think that I was Islenos, but recently I found out I'm really Spanish. That and Irish and/or German. I dunno. We could be wrong.

My name is Julia and it means "Youthful" in latin. My middle name is Marie and it means "Bitter" in latin. My last name is White and it is self-explanitory.
I've always liked my name, Julia Marie White. Somewhere along the line Alice Gray married Fay White. It's kinda funny.

I'm a youthful yet bitter white girl. :D

My name is Theodore Wesley Peck.

Theodore means 'gift of God'

Wesley means 'west meadow'

Peck is from around 1086 and a result of the Doomsday Book and probably came from a misspelling of 'peak,' as in mountain. It has current meanings of a quick kissing motion and a unit of measurement that is equals 16 dry pints.

SO my name is Dave and i hate it because it is such a normal boring name, There isnt even a suikoden character named dave! boo anyways, my full name is David Julian Agostinelli and it means.

David - Beloved or friend. The Old Testament David killed the giant Goliath in 10th Century BC, then succeeded Saul as King of Israel.

Julian - Youthful. Jove's child. From Latin 'Julianus'. Form of Julius and family clan name of several powerful Roman emperors. In the Middle Ages, the name Julian was used for children of either gender, but is now used as a boy's name.

Agostinelli - Italian: from a pet form of the personal name Agosto (see Augustus).Humanistic re-creation of the Latin personal name Augustus on the basis of its medieval vernacular derivatives, principally August. The Latin name is from an adjective meaning ‘venerable'.

So basically my full name means, Beloved Youthful Venerable. :)

Well my name is Euan..

Origin:
Gaelic

Meaning:
Born from the yew tree; youth
(What the hell is that suppose to mean!? x.x)



Additional info:
Possibly means 'born of the yew' in Old Celtic. It was a very popular name among the early Scottish.
It may have been influenced by the Greek name Eugene, which comes from Greek Eugenios (noble) and was held by a seventh-century pope.

Some also see it as being derived from êoghunn (youth).

It is anglicized as Owen in Wales, Ewen and Youenn in Brittany, Eoin in Ireland and the Isle of Man, and the variants overlap with forms of John.
Variants of this name occur in all part of the Celtic world.

In Northern Ireland, the name Eoghan is often accompanied by Roe in memory of the Irish patriot Eoghan Ruadh O'Neill.

My name's Kian Erika G. Ylanan. I always write that in every legal document.

Kian > A GUY's name X(
Persian: "King". Gaelic: "Ancient"

>My parents just mixed both their names to form that. They didn't have a clue that it belonged to a guy.

Erika > "Eternal Ruler", "forever", "alone"
>Again, my parents mixed names. I heard it's from Old Norse/ Scandinavian; a female form of Erik.

(G) Gonzales >I dunno what that means in Spanish.

Ylanan > I have no idea what that is. The peeps here in Canada say it like "Yeh-lah-nan" But it's pronounced "Ih-lah-nan"

I am flattered with the meanings of my first names. And yeah, if you're confused about what kind of creature I am. I'm Chinese-Spanish-(Japanese)-Filipino.

Gonzales: Son of Gonzalo

Gonzalo: "Purportedly derived from Old High German gund- "war" combined with salve or salvo, which have various meanings. Other sources derive it from the Visigothic name gundisalv meaning "battle genius" or "war elf."

So Gonzales means son of the battle genius..?

Nope, I'm not a Spanish (though 1/8 of my blood is. :lol: ) nor a walking dictionary.

Thanks, Wikipedia! :D
