Fits my sense of pretentiousness and arrogance rather well I guess.

My name is Tua and does not appear on any of these sites.

If you by some sort of weird, space-radiation way manage to find a site that will give the meaning of it, feel free to tell me.

I do know though that it means yours in some language I forgot what it was called, and someone told me a good while ago that it is also part of a word that means eternal.

So. I suppose that's all there is to it. >: Dunno how well the meaning fits my personality since I'm not 100% on what my name even means.

Googled it, a few showed up - examples here [http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Tua.html], here [http://babynames.merschat.com/index.cgi?function=View&bn_key=51097] and here [http://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Tua]. Choose whichever one, if any, suits you best =P

Oh, this is what I thought about with the eternal bit:
1) Short form of Perpetua

Latin perpetuus = 'continuous'

and also

3) Latin tua = 'your'

So no surprises. *_*

 

[trollnystan]

Meh, my name means "pale/white shoulders" in Irish. It either alludes to the pale skin of royalty who didn't go out and toil in the sun, or blonde hair. That's how I had it explained to me anyway.

My shoulders have freckles on them btw, but are pretty pale despite that so I guess it fits?

Spoiler: RYAN

RYAN

Gender: Masculine

Usage: Irish, English

Pronounced: RIE-ən [key]
From an Irish surname which was derived from Ó Riain meaning "descendent of Rían". The given name Rían probably means "little king" (from Irish rí "king" combined with a diminutive suffix).

I do firmly believe that I am intended to be the fucking king of the world, so I stand behind this.

Also, I will add that hanging around with me is like being in a perpetual Stereotype Night. Red hair, blue eyes, fair skin, Irish blood, mild accent to boot; all coupled with that name and a [violent] religious middle name (Michael, the Archangel of War) tends to sort of make the whole of me just seem like it's some sort of bad joke.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

Your name is Angel? ...Seems like a bad stereotype. *ahem*

Tell me about it. I would change it but for some inexplicable reason everyone around me seems to like it. Plus being called "My Angel" during sex or intimate moments has it's advantages.
