KRISTEN (2)
Gender: Feminine Usage: English Pronounced: KRIS-ten [key] Variant of KRISTIN After looking at THAT... KRISTIN Gender: Feminine Usage: Scandinavian, German Pronounced: KRIS-teen (German) [key] Scandinavian and German form of CHRISTINA And after looking at THAT... CHRISTINA Gender: Feminine Usage: English, German, Scandinavian Pronounced: kris-TEEN-a (English), kris-TEE-nah (German) [key] Feminine form of CHRISTIAN. This was the name of a Swedish queen of the 17th century who was interested in the arts and philosophy. She gave up her crown to become a Roman Catholic. So, apparently my real name is a derivative of a derivative of a queen who took a new name after converting to Christianity. But, I prefer to be called by the third derivative name: Chrissie

My Full name is quite long - Mohd Khairul Azmee.
My parent says that all of me an my other 2 brother's name has a meaning. But I don't know and don't remember what my name's meaning are. *UPDATE & EDIT* Fond the meanings of my name and they are: Muhammad : محمد Praised, lauded, commended, praiseworthy. (Well, Mohd is commonly used in Malaysia and have the same pronouncation and meaning as Muhammad) Khairul Bashar : خیرالبشر Best of mankind, an epithet of the Prophet Muhammad. (I tried to find Khairul but only manage to find Khairl Bashar. Well, thats close enough.) Azmi : عزمی One who fulfils his promise. (Again, same pronouncation and meaning as Azmee)

I find it interesting that you prefer not only a shortened pronunciation, but also an alternate spelling. Any particular reason behind that, or just a maiden's sense of style?

My real name is Mikko, which is Finnish form of Michael.
According to behindthename.com: From the Hebrew name מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el) which meant "who is like God?". This is the name of one of the seven archangels in Hebrew tradition and the only one identified as an archangel in the Bible. In the Book of Revelation in the New Testament he is portrayed as the leader of heaven's armies, and thus is considered the patron saint of soldiers. As an atheist, I found this pretty funny. Oh well |

According to me parents, my Chinese name means intelligent:博 and humbleness/modesty:謙. Full Chinese name is 蔡博謙 (Pinyin: cài bó qiān). Btw I'm from Hong Kong so it's pronounced "Choy Bok Him". My english name shall be disclosed.
I have shamed my parents, my ancestors, and myself, for not living up to my name. May the heavens strike me with lighting. |

Yeah, mine has a pretty deep meaning behind it.
You see, when my grandfather was born, Nurses thought it was funny to write the baby's baptism names with colored crayons. That way, whoever did his registration mistook the M for a W due to that nurse's poor handwriting and nunchucks skills and it's been like that ever since. I have a uncle who is named with the same crazy ass, nobodoy-can-say-or-spell-it name and sometimes I feel like I should change my name to Bob. But you see, he passed away a week before I was born. And so my mother and father decided that, in his honor, they should name me after him. Which is not something I regret.

Well, this is interesting, I just remembered.... my original birth name when I was a baby (before i was adopted) was Haneul Yoon (하늘 윤) (Yoon was my surname). I don't have a generational name, because the nurses in the hospital (in Seoul) named me. Funny enough, my name was the second one on the Korean name page.
"Haneul" means "heaven" or "sky" in Korean. "Yoon" is a pretty common last name and first name (f) both, and means means "allow" or "consent" from Sino-Korean 允. I'm a boy, but Haneul can be both a boy's or girl's name.

Oh hey EXEs, guess I kinda know how you feel, don't let a name put you down or put pressure onto you. It's just how parents are, especially Chinese ones...
Well my family stands for Warmth. My first name translaters as Conqueror, and the hypenated part stands for Country. So technically, I'm the Warm Conqueror of Countries... Or something similar to that... Not that I'll be invading any countries.... Nor becoming very warm either! |
