HAIL CAESAR!! (and the makers of the left behind series of books)

Ok, so by the title, you know three things about me. 1. I'm drinking a Caesar. 2. I'm reading and enjoying the left behind series. and 3. i have nothing further to say regarding yesterdays emotional blog at this time.

So, something you may not know about me, is i have always been facinated by origins. Family origins, history, family trees, little known facts and that sort of thing. Today, i stumbled upon a book that was about the origins of names. I have always also found that interesting. I remember this one Archie Comic, it had a story where Betty (the blonde) was reading a similar book, and she was telling her friends thier name meanings and origins, and they all seemed to fit thier names and the meanings and stuff. Not a great story over all, kind of an anti-climactic ending, and if any of you can actually tell me how it ends you will recieve an amazing prize. Anyway, in keeping with the spirit of Archie comics (and i do love Archie comics), i have decided to put some names out there for you to look at and compare with any people in your life who share the names which i will now put forth with thier origin of culture and meaning. Enjoy.
