yes it means my mother wasn't thinking very clearly at the time

Leslie. It means, "dweller of the gray fortress." A certain young Viking named "Leslie" had the great idea to go around, pick the loose rocks from the steep hillsides of the northern fiords of what is now Norway, and use them to build a causeway to a man made island in the middle of the narrow sliver of sea ... it would be a good naval base and would be easy to defend from an army ... but he could not get any support or aid to do the labour of rock picking ... so he got a small Viking ship, a small crew, and he started raiding small Danish villages, taking all precious metals, jewels, and kidnapping all the strong healthy children, but killing everyone else ... then he made the children pick the rocks and he used the raided wealth to buy food to feed them ... as they cleared the slopes, they built homes cut into the rock wall, and dumped the rock, in a narrow path, into the sea, making a low road out into the water, then made an island with a huge fortress on it, then made towers with catapults all around the edges of the fiord, THEN he gave the land to the slave children and to this day raindeer and grasses grow along the old port of Hammerfast. The guy that did that was known both as "Leslie the Great", for making barren land in the Arctic into an agriculturally thriving place with a strong military defense, and also as "Leslie the Terrible", for having raided, murdered, kidnapped children into slavery, and making them clear the slopes of loose rocks.

I think it means my parents hated me. My first Christian name seems to be unpronouncable to anyone at a first attempt amd I have so many other names that I could read" War and Peace" before I could spell my name. It does not appear in any books with meanings of names.

It means gift from god. Who doesn't exist.

My name means,"Little Flower".

My name means gracious. It came from the Hebrews. =]

Son of the right hand, yeah my parents are left handed. Either they didn't take the time to look this up, or are subtly trying to tell me I'm adopted.

I share my name with the famous King of Israel, the father of Solomon, David. It means beloved, and I was named david and my brother Jonathan for my parents wanted us to be as close as david and jonathan were in the Bible. I was his best man, but we live in different states!

My first name means Lady and my last name means Warrior. So my name means Lady Warrior. It comes from both Spanish and Irish origins.

My name is Meron and it means "holy oil" in Ethiopia and also means "soldiers or Troops" in Hebrew
