    I always sign my rep comments and most of my PMs with my real name so most of you already know that it's Rachel.

    Anyway, Rachel is (supposedly) Jewish and means 'innocent lamb'. What so your names mean?

    Boyan.

    The general theory is that its origin is either Slavic ("Belligerent") or Turkic (rich).

    Here's mine...Keith

    "From a Scottish surname which was originally derived from a place name, itself probably derived from British cet meaning "wood". This was the surname of a long line of Scottish earls. It has been used as a given name since the 19th century."

    So, i'm the "Earl of the Wood" ...not sure if i like the sound of that one!:p

    Mine means "Spear Carrier". I've always been curious about that. Did that mean I just carry them around for other people to fight, or am I supposed to fight with a spear. One of these days I will make a crpg character who uses a spear. I always forget to do that.

    Well, my first name is Peter, which means "the rock", which is pretty funny, as I've got a big soft tummy that isn't rocklike at all.

    My middle name, Alvin, means "beloved of all" and that pretty well describes me!

    The name site I just found says it means "light skinned" -- I'm gonna keep searching!

    Another one says "wise friend". I know I saw that "beloved of all" definition somewhere years and years ago!
