Does your first name or surname have a meaning, you don't have to give out your name, just the meaning of it.

This is where my first name comes from:
It is of Old English origin, and its meaning is "black; pale, white". Transferred use of the surname. Originally a nickname for someone with hair or skin that was either very dark (Old English "blaec") or very light (Old English "blac").

Ed.  Means beefy humorous guy in films.

Actually its Edward, which means something like guard or protector.

I understand that, biblically, Al means "no"...

And I tend to get an awful lot of that...

Typically from women, but mostly whenever potential employment is involved.

As near as I can tell, my full name translates to "Guardian of the Polish World Ruler." Apparently, I was supposed to guard the last pope. My bad.

Michael is Hebrew and means "Who is like God?" It's believed among Christians to be the name of the lead archangel and is one of the most popular male names in the United States.
My handle also has a meaning. It's Klingonese for "Burns bright".

I looked mine up years ago. it translated to:
Surname that has no meaning, surname that has no meaning, town beside the creek.
My family nickname is now slang for a rather manly woman.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
