My Mum chose mine...seems she got it right even after 7 weeks before I was even christened " Nicholas is a name given to any male and comes from the Greek language. If you know any Nicholas' tell them it means victory of the people."
" My Mum made me a Socialist " ( just said it before somebody else did ) Nick

Blimey!! She was even MORE right on the nail than I thought:
"Your first name of Nicholas has given you a clever, deep mind and the talent to excel in highly inspirational lines of endeavour as a dramatist, musician, writer, or artist.
You can be lifted by beauty in all forms and you are at the most creative when inspired.
Your expressive, affectionate nature responds very quickly through your feelings, but you must guard against being possessive and jealous.
You feel and sense much that you do not fully understand and cannot express.
Your delight in mystery could draw you into occult studies or religions.
Although the name Nicholas creates an interest in the deeper aspects of life, we emphasize that it causes an emotional intensity that is hard to control.
This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the heart, lungs, bronchial area, and nervous system"
I used to know someone named Nick, who would tell people that his father came up with his name after he cut himself, shaving.
I was named William, after my maternal grandfather. I understand that it comes from an old German word for helmet, which is appropriate because most people say I am pretty hard-headed (or maybe they meant dense).
Justin \j(u)-stin, jus-tin\ as a boy's name is pronounced JUS-tin. It is of Latin origin, and the meaning of Justin is "just, upright, righteous". Variant of Justus. Saint Justin (second century) was a Greek philosopher who wrote of the moral values of Christianity. See also Jestin. Actor Justin Henry; singer Justin Timberlake.
Just don't go looking through the Urban Dictionary for my name..

Hmm interesting story here...Don't ask me why because I have no idea, but my mom named me after the triceratops in The Land Before Time. My name is spelt Sarah, but in the movie it is spelled as Cera. If my mom had known this, my name would be spelt Cera.
But my name means Princess in Hebrew, or it comes from Sarai from in the Bible if i remember correctly.
Fits me well! lol :P

In Armenian legend this was the name of an Armenian king who was so handsome that the Assyrian queen Semiramis went to war to capture him.

What part of "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" is so hard to understand?!
Michael is a given name that comes from the Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל / מיכאל (Mikha'el), derived from the Hebrew question מי כמו אלוהים? (Hebrew pronunciation: [mi kəmo ʔelohim]) meaning "Who is like God?" In English, it is sometimes shortened to Mike, Mikey, or, especially in Ireland, Mick. In Russian language, it is Mikhail.

Actually, Ted (or theodore) ALSO means gift of God. (Greek Origin) So when she asks "What does he think he is, God's Gift or something???!!!" I say "Yes."
