I just love how people just say the meaning without telling us their names.

My name is Timo, wich comes from "Timotheus", wich is greek and means "fear god!". So, my name should translate to "fear!", right? (Actually, there even is a german name called "Fürchtegott", meaning Feargod. Just imagine a child coming to school, named Feargod. Though it wouldn't really surprise me - there are so many dumb names. Chastity. Justice. Bah.)
Well, I am not religious and I won't give my children names like that. Hell no.

Ward means "The Protector," which is fitting, as the name has been in my family for a long time, and we have've had TONS of bodyguards in our family.

My Great-Grandfather (another bodyguard) was told by his father, and his father's father &c that "Nos es patronus. Pro infinitio" Apparently it means, We are protectors. Forever, I have no idea if it's accurate or not though...haha.

Jess - Wealthy
Marcel - young warrior
Garcia - brave in battle
Dykes - dweller on or near a dike or embankment.

So I'm pretty much a rich, brave young King of the Hill.

Matthew means "Gift of the Lord" or "Gift of God". If I am a gift from God then he must really hate someone.
Dylan is a bit longer "In Welsh mythology the name Dylan was used for a god of the sea who was the son of Aranrhod and was slain accidentally by his own uncle."

So im a gift from the christian god and a son of a welsh god.

Well 'Adam' means 'Red Earth' and Hart is an old Celtic name for 'Hunter of Great White Deer' so all together 'Red Earth Hunter of Great White Deer' I suppose.

Forrest: A woodsman.

Wow-ee, how awesome.
The last time my name was popular was during 1994, the same year the movie Forrest Gump came out.

Kellen: Derived from Kelly, which is of general Celtic and British Isles origin.

It means "Slender" or "powerful", which can precisely describe my genitals ;D

Chris derrives from saint christopher and translates to "bearer of chirst" from a story in the bible where saint christopher carries jesus over a river, however as my family are athiest i doubt my namesake means very much. For some reason the fmeale name lauren means "man". My girlfriend was not happy.

Furburt said:
I'm not sure what Fabian literally means, but I know that the conferred meaning is Guerrilla Warrior, due to the person I'm named after, the Roman general, Fabius, who invented the concept of a War of Attrition in his campaigns against Hannibal, and who later became the namesake of the Fabian society, a leftist group in the UK that advocates slow social change towards more leftist ideals.

So yeah, Guerrilla Warrior.
Fabius means "One who grows beans." :p Though, I think Guerilla Warrior would be my choice out of the two as well

Albert means "Noble, Bright and Famous"... I am none of those things. and Fry means "Offspring", so I've got some pretty weak sauce for names

"Sunlight" as my first name and "dark water" for my middle name. Both names sort of peaked in usage around the 1810s and 1890s then fell out of favour again.

Mine seems pretty odd. Martin means Warlike, which is awesome (and somewhat true), my middle name Paul means Small, but my last name means Giant. Sooo... yeah.

Graham as far as I'm aware in most languages (Scottish and Japanese being the ones I'm certain of) means 'Grey house/home'.

Alternatively in Scottish culture it can also mean 'Hill'.

In Latin it means 'lioness' so I guess it's a female version of leo, or possibly derived from the Irish version of Helen.
