In the English dictionary my name means a pussy wart, either that or some disgusting skin thing like a zit or something I can't remember. My mom was very abusive and hated me so I guess it kinda makes sense

Michelle-
It's a Hebrew name meaning 'who is like God.' It's a feminine name which is popular as a first name and most popular as a surname by the English-speaking people. It is believed to be the feminine name of the name Michael.

Michael-The name Michael is an Anglicized form of the Hebrew name Mi-ke-el (מִיכָאֵל). It is derived from the Hebrew elements **

From the meanings I've looked up it is about justice, truth, upright, righteous.

Though most people call me Yowie.
Which I guess can mean a big hairy dude. I can relate to such characters that are misunderstood at first such as Harry from Harry And The Hendersons and Ludo from Labyrinth.

My first name is French in origin and means "honeybee."
My middle name could either be English meaning "meadow" or Hebrew meaning "weary cow."

Only a few people in CC knows my real name. My name is a combination of parent's name. All of us have liz's in their name except for one. I know it can be pretty confusing. I was conceived during my parent's singpore-thailand tour and they were going to name me Singthai but thankfully they cme up with a much better name... :)

This thread's been done before I think. I remember it. But i'll do it again.

Gabriel means 'He who God protects.'

At least that's what I saw on Boy Meets World.

You're name means "weary cow"?

I wouldn't spread that around.

Daniel means God is my judge.

And Blain I like your name even with it's meaning. It's unique and you don't really hear it used. At least I don't think I've ever heard it used. Daniel is a very common name.

Yeah, I kinda got screwed with my middle name. I always thought it was pretty until I looked it up. It's derived from "Leah," who was the weak-eyed, unloved first wife of Jacob. As an ex-first wife who wears glasses, I'm starting to be convinced about the power of names. That's one of the reasons my son's name means "Victorious King." Only downside is that he is so stubborn. =)
