I'm a Nicholas myself, and it means "Victory of the people" or "Victorious People".

Corey - The very epitome of win.
Actually, I have no idea what my name means and I'm fairly sure it's meaning is debated.
I guess I live up to that title.

Marcus is War Like in Latin, which is a bit ironic seeing as I've never started a fight in my life, and I am usually the one trying to stop arguments rather than keep 'em going.

My last name, Magill, in Scottish Gaelic, translates as "Son of Stranger", usually applied to the sons or daughters of immigrants, usually from England.

Bryn = Hill
Thomas = Twin

Middle Names:
Peter = Rock
Drohan = (Well I'm not really sure, as a first name it means "Druid" or "Wise One", but my mother tells me her family's surname isn't the irish one but a corruption of the French D'Rohan)

I've found several different meaning for Braden. Here's two of the top of my head.

In Irish/Gaelic it means "salmon"
In English it means "broad" or "wide"

So apparently I'm a fat fish.

My name (Aengus) is a Celtic name, which is apparently the Irish Gaelic form of Angus. It means One choice.

"In Irish mythology, Óengus (Old Irish), Áengus (Middle Irish), Aengus or Aonghus (Modern Irish) is a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann and probably a god of love, youth and poetic inspiration. He was said to have four birds symbolizing kisses flying about his head (whence, it is believed, the xxxx's symbolizing kisses at the end of lovers' letters come from)." -Wikipedia.

From aon "excellent" and gus "strength, vigor." Aengus was the god of love and of youth. His words were as sweet as honey, attracting bees and birds. He fell deeply in love with a beautiful girl he saw in a dream and passed through many trials, including turning himself into a swan, to win her love. The poet William Butler Yeats immortalised his search in "The Song of Wandering Aengus:"

I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout. - Irish baby boy names.

Also known as "Angus the young", he was considered the Irish god of love. He was a young handsome god that had four birds flying about his head -- some say they symbolize kisses -- who inspired love in all who heard them. He was the son of Dagda and Boann ('the wife of Elcmar').
Once, Aengus was troubled by the dream of a young maiden, He instantly fell in love with her and became love sick. He told his mother Boann and she searched the whole of Ireland for the maiden, but after a year she still had not found the maiden. Then Dagda was called and he searched Ireland for a year, and still did not find the maiden. Finally Bov the Red, king of the Dananns in Munster and Dagda's aide, was called to search and after a year he found the maiden.
Aengus was taken to the lake of the Dragon's Mouth, and there he saw 150 maidens all chained with gold into pairs. He spied her at once and her name was Caer, the daughter of Ethal and Anubal, a prince of the Dananns of Connact. On November first she and all the other maidens are transformed into swans for a year. He was told if he could identify her as a swan he could marry her. On November 1 Aengus went out to the lake and called to his love, and once he had found her he then turned in to a swan himself and joined her. They flew off together singing such a beautiful song that all who heard them fell asleep for three days and nights.
Aengus had a son called, "Diarmuid Ua Duibhne" or Diarmuid of the Love Spot. One night while hunting Diarmuid met a maiden who made a magic love spot appear on his head, and from then on no woman ever looked upon him with out falling in love with him. - Encyclopedia Mythica (Celtic mytholigy)
It's funny because all those stories are like the exact opposite of me.

Michael apparently means "He Who is like God".
If I'm like God then religious people are in for a huge shock.
Haha! My name means the same thing (as it is just the feminine version of Michael) and I wholeheartedly concur. :p
However my version has the foresight to incorporate the word "hell" in the middle.
Don't make me smite you!

Jakob stems from Jacob

Litterate, it means 'heel' in hebrew (pulling leg). However, the actual meaning of it is "Struggles with god". God is default, so I can basically say: "Struggles".
So basically, my name means that I struggle and fight to be.
