So... People at my school have been talking about what their names mean and it got me interested so I looked my entire name up. Given name and surnames both.
Eduardo Javier Gonzalez Lopez
Guardian of the new house of the son of War and/or son of Wolf/ son of the Wolf
I personally like it. Anyone else know their names "meanings?"
On a side note in this thread: I love the way the name Lucifer roles off the tongue and that it's meaning is more or less 'the light bringer'. It's too bad that if I name my kid that everyone will see me as a devil worshiper. Any ideas?

Therese - Greek, Harvester
Nicole - Greek, Victory of the people
Mastini - Italian, only thing I can find is the Mastiff breed of dog...
I feel the same way about that name Orcus, it's sad that most religious people say it's Satanic and all. It's sounds 'velvety'. =D I'd still name my son that either way, probably. Just give the kid a middle name they can use instead of their first name, that should balance it out.

Just give the kid a middle name they can use instead of their first name, that should balance it out. That's a great idea. It might actually work out well for the kid if I give him a middle name. Your name's nice by the way. Is your family Greek or Italian? Or both? Therese, I know, is a very Greek name. Nicole has become more common throughout the years here in America and I doubt that your last is a dogs name. @Gundam Arashi: Sorry to ask but isn't Reuben also the name of a sandwich? Whatever, I always thought James was a cool name. I've also read that Apollo was also known by 'the Lycian' and was said to mean wolf god and god of light. Maybe Lucas has origins in Latin or Greek.

'Thanks, though I wish I had something that meant wolf in mine like you do, though. My first name's kind of plain looking to me, with 3 'e's in it and such, then lots of people mispronounce or misspell it with an 'a' at the end, even though my name's a variant of Theresa/Teresa. As for my last name, I couldn't find anything about it, except that a breed of dogs shares that name too. Now the name Mastino, I can find. =| Well, my father's side of the family is Italian and my mother's side is German, both are direct lines too, so maybe my Italian side is kind of Greek-ish.

WHAT? Therese is a classic name, it's a very pretty name. I love the greeks and anything greek but they have quite the knack for names. A name of greek origin gives you high marks in my book.

I love Greek stuff too, and Roman, but once you've had to spell it out to people and pronounce it for them as well, then they still get it wrong...the novelty sort of wears off. Daw, I'm honored, Orcus. You made my day, since I've been getting aggravated with my brother the whole time. >=|

Nothing Greek can ever falter in my book. If I could turn all of Greek culture and society (+ some roman in there) into a big blob of goo and put it in a sack I would... Actually, this conversation is better left to a site with more than a pg13 rating but let's leave it at, ILOVETHEGREEKS or better yet, in 1337, I 10v3 73h gr33k5 @nd r0m@n5 @ l07.

Also, you can elaborate on your names. I think I was lucky with mine but I only added the word 'of' to turn it into the sentence that you see there.
