If this doesn't belong here please move it.

I dunno I was bored so I figured I'd do this. Just post your name and I'll find out what it means. Here's an example:
Name: Alana
Hawaiian: Two meanings ALANA: feminine of Alan "awakening."
ALANA: offering

Gaelic: ALANNA: "Rock" or "comely; beautiful." Also possibly a derivative of Old French Elaine (bright; shining) or Greek Helen (light). Variants include Alain, Alaina, Alaine, Alana, Alane, Alannah, Alayne, Alene, Aleyna, Aleyne, Alina, Alleen, Allena, Allene, Allyna, Alleynah, Alleyne, Allina, Allinah, Allyn, Lana, Lanah, Lanna, Lannah, Aleyna, Aleynah.

Irish: ALLENA: Feminine form of Allen, or Alan. Means either "rock" or "beautiful." Variants include Alana, Alanna, Alena, Alene, Allene, Alleyne, Allynn, Allynne, Allynn, Alynne.

I always knew my name was Hawaiian but I didn't know it was Gaelic and Irish. You may notice that my name has a meaning in three different cultures. I will post all of them. SOme of them will simply be variations of another name. Such as in Irish it's Allena and Alana is a variation of that name. My favorite is the Hawaiian name meaning for awakening. Not sure why. So go ahead and post and I'll reply as often as I can.

Thought you'd see something interesting here, didn't ya? :D


Finally Alyssa spoke again, her eyes locked on the ball in my hand. “That isn’t an ordinary Pokeball. We call it the Soul Ball. The Pokemon inside it is very special. It represents who and what you are at the very deepest level. It is essentially your soul in physical form.”

“My soul,” I whispered, awe struck. “So that’s what you meant by my ‘soul companion’.”
