My first, middle and last names suggest that I am "The vigilant one who supplants dwellers amongst narrow trees."  Yup, story of my life so far...

This sounds like you might be in line for the hero part in the next Children of the Corn movie (corn stalks = narrow trees to small people). Congrats!

The Burgomaster

Joseph, meaning "he who has much promise, but shall amount to nothing, for he is one lazy bastard."  At least that's what my wife thinks it means.
"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

Joe the Destroyer

My name is also Joseph, and while someone has already beaten me to the humorous punch, I guess I'll  just say what the name really means...

It's Hebrew for "God will provide."   At least, that's all I can ever seem to find on it.

I believe that Trevor is a Welsh word meaning a village chief, so that would mean my second name should be Vitalstatistix from the Asterix books.  :teddyr: Either that, or that chief's pet name, Piggywiggy.  :twirl:

Saucerman

William is the anglicized version of Wilhelm, which means "Protector."

My last name is derived from a diminutive of "Adam."

Finally found the origin of my last name. It means someone living in a hole or valley. Might explain why I'm always in debt but able to survive.
