[Starfist]

My last name has a similar derivation to Seaboe's Grandfather.
But refers to the place rather than the father's name.

Roughly my surname translates to "From the Place of the Cherry Trees".

Interesting. I don't know what mine translates to.

And there is a funny addition...

I actually have two 'Flowering' Cherry Trees in my back garden...

That is interesting.

The meaning of mine in old Dutch is "living by the side of a creek" ... and I do live near a creek.

[Starfist]

I have a funny feeling it's why I picked the house...

And I have no plans to move at the moment.

Just looking up my surname to see what the meaning of it is, and apparently it's the name of a novel by Samuel Beckett, interesting. Sometimes though people often think it's Mulloy but it's Molloy. And it means 'Noble Chief' and it's of Irish origins.

Ooh thanks for that link, I'll definitely have a look at that. Looking for a name for an OC for my CSI story, so that shall definitely help, along with my baby name books.

[Sparky She-Demon]

The closest name to my last name means "of illegitamate birth".

[Falcon Horus]

Well, that's unfortunate...

[Sparky She-Demon]

Yeah... Though in my family, that may explain a lot!

The meaning for my first name is *much* nicer!

Yes, thanks the link, Falcon!

For, um, obvious reasons, the first name I looked up was Evan. As expected, it's of Welsh origin, but what really made me smile was that it's the Welsh equivalent of John. So now my two favourite flyboys have even more in common!

On the topic of family history my family tree goes as far back as the starting of the Qing Dynasty, literally so. In fact if the dynasties were still going on I'd literally be a Princess in the Chinese Royal House! Bummer however that it is not so

Oh well, I shall take the bad with the good, in this case I shall not wonder just what kind of battery N Korea is licking at this moment.
