A name meme

Snurched from celli, who got it elsewhere.

1. What does your first name mean?

Apparently it's from the Norman, "of Brieuse", a place in France.

2. What does your middle name mean?

I have no frelling clue, and some day I am going to take steps to amputate it. My folks hung me with a name with no meaning so as not to make me "the Third". I have received nothing but grief from it. < /rant >

3. What does your last name mean?

One admitted to the privilege of bearing arms (generally conferred by a king in an elaborate ceremony).

4. So what does your name mean when put together?

A man-at-arms from the village of Brieuse, with some severe mental problems.

5. What would you have been named if you were the opposite gender?

No idea. Best guess would be "Isabella", because both sides of the family seem to have a tradition of passing names down the generations.

6. Any other name oddities?

Twice in the past year, someone took my credit card, looked at it, and commented that I had a name that sounded like a comic-book superhero's. I don't know.

Close entry.

I didn't know that. Cool! ;-)

(It was my Dad's name)
