MICHAEL

In the Book of Revelation in the New Testament he is portrayed as the leader of heaven's armies, and thus is considered the patron saint of soldiers. This was also the name of nine Byzantine emperors and a czar of Russia. Other more modern bearers of this name include the 19th-century chemist/physicist Michael Faraday and basketball player Michael Jordan.

There was first name. Now second.

According to legend he was crucified on an X-shaped cross, and he is the patron saint of Scotland, Russia, and Greece. This was also the name of kings of Hungary.

[Bryan 2.0]

[/b]Bryan[/b] is a first name of Irish origin. The name Bryan is a variation of the original Irish name Brian (with the same pronunciation), and is a very common first name in Ireland as well as many English speaking countries.

The name Bryan is of Celtic origin and its meaning may be "hill" or "strong, noble, and high." There is no strong evidence regarding any potential origin, only conjecture, although the Gaelic word "brígh"/"brìgh" ("context", "elixir", "essence", "interpretation", "meaning", "pith", "significance") offer a possible root. Bryan means a matter strength and honor.

My name is Josh. It's of Hebrew origin and apparently is popular, funny cause I've barely met anyone with the name before. It means to be a savior apparently. Joshua carried out Moses' orders from God when he died and pretty much that's it. I don't mind my name, I like it as long as I'm not called Joshua which annoys me very much.

[Chase]

I don't want to say my full name but I'll convert my full name to what it means in Arabian.I have my reasons why I don't want to say my name.One of it is it's too long and too hard to say.

Holy Brave Warrior

It's too damn funny when you read it but it's kinda weird for me though.Most of my friends just kept laughing ever since they heard it.What's so wrong having a name that means "Holy Brave Warrior" ? But still I'm happy with having it.

Its a fairly complex concept but it was actually proven that something like this exists.. though i find it funny that it was bought up by my birth religion.

I never posted in this thread so forgive me as I bump this shit.

My name:

Brandon Wade Zachary.

Brandon meaning "swift sword" (a nice name for a state fencing champion) I actually didn't find out it's proper meaning until one of my fencing partners remarked about it. I looked it up and found that she was very much correct.

Wade meaning...to uh...wade...y'know...like across a river or something... It was my father's middle name and my great grandfather's first given name. And if I ever have a son his middle name shall be wade as well. My great grandfather is a legendary figure in my family.

Zachary means "The one God remembers" We've always had it. Always knew what it was. My mother's maiden name is Alderson but she left it for Zachary. People always remark that I have two first names. But I never really noticed. Zachary will always be a last name for me.

Your number is: 11

The characteristics of #11 are: High spiritual plane, intuitive, illumination, idealist, a dreamer.

The expression or destiny for #11:
Your Expression number is 11. The number 11 is the first of the master numbers. It is associated with idealistic concepts and rather spiritual issues. Accordingly, it is a number with potentials that are somewhat more difficult to live up to. You have the capacity to be inspirational, and the ability to lead merely by your own example. An inborn inner strength and awareness can make you an excellent teacher, social worker, philosopher, or advisor. No matter what area of work you pursue, you are very aware and sensitive to the highest sense of your environment. Your intuition is very strong; in fact, many psychic people and those involved in occult studies have the number 11 expression. You possess a good mind with keen analytical ability. Because of this you can probably succeed in most lines of work, however, you will do better and be happier outside of the business world. Oddly enough, even here you generally succeed, owing to your often original and unusual approach. Nonetheless, you are more content working with your ideals, rather than dollars and cents.

The positive aspect of the number 11 expression is an always idealistic attitude. Your thinking is long term, and you are able to grasp the far-reaching effects of actions and plans. You are disappointed by the shortsighted views of many of your contemporaries. You are deeply concerned and supportive of art, music, or of beauty in any form.

The negative attitudes associated with the number 11 expression include a continuous sense of nervous tension; you may be too sensitive and temperamental. You tend to dream a lot and may be more of a dreamer than a doer. Fantasy and reality sometimes become intermingled and you are sometimes very impractical. You tend to want to spread the illumination of your knowledge to others irrespective of their desire or need.

Your Soul Urge number is: 1

A Soul Urge number of 1 means:
Your Soul Urge is the number 1. With a Soul Urge number of 1, you want to lead and direct, to work independent of supervision, by yourself or with subordinates. You take pride in your abilities and want to be recognized for them. You may seek opportunities to display your strength and usefulness, wanting to create and originate. In your desire to manage the big picture and the main issues, you may often leave the details to others.

The positive 1 Soul Urge is Ambitious and determined, a leader seeking opportunities. There is a great deal of honesty and loyalty in this character. If you possess positive 1 Soul Urge qualities, you are very attainment oriented and driven to success. You are a loyal friend and strictly fair in your business dealings.

The negative side of the 1 Soul Urge must be avoided. A negative 1 is apt to dominate situations and people; the home, the spouse, the family and the business. Emotions aren't strong in this nature. If you possess an excess of 1 energy, you may, at times, be boastful and egotistic. You must avoid being too critical and impatient of trifles. The great need of the 1 Soul Urge is the development of friendliness, and a sincere interest in people.

Your Inner Dream number is: 1

An Inner Dream number of 1 means:
You dream of being a leader and one who is in charge. You want to be known for your courage, daring, and original ideas. You seek unconquered heights. People may get a first impression that you are very aggressive and sure of yourself.

A few people here have posted about my first name already, that being Andrew. But i'll go ahead and post about it again XD.

Its origin is Greek and it means "Manly" and "Brave"... some places list "Warrior" as a meaning aswell, but i'd expect any manly and brave person to be a warrior anyway XD. It's the patron saint of Scotland, Russia, Greece and Romania aswell as having a religious reference, being the first apostle of christ i believe o.O; Don't hold me to that religious reference though >.>;

Its a pretty popular name haha. Used to live on St Andrews road when i was a kid aswell, that was pretty entertaining to me back in those days XD.

My surname is a little less popular and has about 5 million different spellings apparently... since my school could never get it right despite how simple it is XD.

Moffett - It's of Scottish origin, which makes sense since most of my family is from around there XD. It's a habitational name from Moffat in Dumfriesshire, named in Gaelic as ‘the long plain’, from magh ‘plain’ + fada ‘long’.
