My mom did worst, she opened the dictionnary and there it was! It's a little tiny town in France, and the only things I have in my house with my name on it, are coming from there. A man my mom knows went there 14 years ago and bring back some gifts for me. The only time I saw someone with the same name as me, was on America's most wanted and HE was a murderer..... geez.... why it wasn't a supermodel???

Ok, here's mine:
MELISSA
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, Greek Mythology, Ancient Greek
Other Scripts: Ìåëéóóá (Ancient Greek)
Pronounced: me-LIS-a [key]
Means "bee" in Greek. This was the name of a nymph that cared for young Zeus in Greek mythology. It is also the name of the fairy who helps Rogero escape from the witch Alcina in the poem 'Orlando Furioso' by Ariosto.

GLORIA
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese
Pronounced: GLOR-ee-a (English) [key]
Means "glory" in Latin. The name first (?) appeared in E. D. E. N. Southworth's 1891 novel 'Gloria' and subsequently in George Bernard Shaw's 1898 play 'You Never Can Tell'.
Third generation Gloria. I don't like it and neither does the DD I share this membership with. However we answer to it everytime our dad's call us because their the ones who insisted the name tradition continue.


Diane
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Lithuanian, Roman Mythology
Other Scripts: Диана (Russian)
Pronounced: die-AN-a (English) [key]
Probably derived from an old Indo-European root meaning "heavenly, divine", related to dyeus (see ZEUS). Diana was a Roman goddess of the moon, hunting, forests, and childbirth, often identified with the Greek goddess Artemis. Diana Spencer, the Princess of Wales, was a famous bearer of this name.
My family has always called me "Di" since my niece couldn't pronounce
my name years ago. My friend called me Princess Di and Lady Di so when I bought a bar, I named it "Lady Di's".

Nah, you are not that weird--my name isn't there either (Miledy). But, even with the oddball names that my kids have, all theirs' are there!


thanks missy for your support! but that's ok, I never find things with my name on it. I'm used to it!

But, I'm ME!!! And proud of it!! At least when someone says my name I know they talk to me!!!

Oh yeah, know that completely--can neve find anything with my name. But with having Missy as a nickname, it makes things a little easier. When I was younger, I always hated my name and dreaded the first day of school when the teacher could not pronounce it. But, once I got to high school, I would love to watch the teachers take roll call and just pause at my name for like forever and make them attempt it. I guess I do the same today, too.

That is so cool thanks for sharing !

Okay. Had to try it.
CAROL (1)
Gender: Feminine & Masculine
Usage: English
Pronounced: KER-ul [key]
Short form of CAROLINE. It was formerly a masculine name, derived from CAROLUS. The name can also be given in reference to the English vocabulary word which means "song" or "hymn".
Not terribly exciting, but then I was never overly thrilled with my name. So traditional, yet growing up there were very few Carol's around so not necessarily a popular name.
My CC username isn't overly exciting, either. I wasn't prepared to come up with something witty when I registered (first time to a forum like this -- didn't know WHAT to expect but have been so pleasantly surprised ever since! Can't get off this darned site!). Anyway, my username is just the username for my email account, and it's a combo of my hubby's and my initials (carol and kevin) and then our last name. I love reading everyone else's usernames and am always curious how you all came up with such great names so share that, too, when sharing your real name origin!

Well, I shared how I came up with the name "Lady Di" so will finish the story by saying that I have been a member of Lions Club for 10 1/2 years and have served in every office except Treasurer (too much computer savy required). I am currently serving as President for the second time. It's the greatest service organization of all time as far as I'm concerned. Thus my user name.
Diane

NONA

Derived from Latin nonus meaning "ninth". First used in the 19th-century, it was traditionally given to the ninth child born.

Yep, you're right. We call my Grandma "Nonna", which is Italian for "Grandma".
Here's mine:
JESSICA
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English
Pronounced: JES-i-ka [key]
This name was first used in this form by Shakespeare in his play 'The Merchant of Venice', where it belongs to the daughter of Shylock. Shakespeare probably based it on the biblical Yiskah, the name of a minor character in Genesis, which meant "YAHWEH beholds" in Hebrew. Jessica is sometimes used as a feminine form of JESSE.


I love reading everyone else's usernames and am always curious how you all came up with such great names so share that, too, when sharing your real name origin!
That is a great Idea!!
