Given that I haven't found one yet...ironic.

No, it means that you'll be a safe harbor. To your man or to your children, I guess. Whatever comes first.

Roman family name, which possibly meant "servant" in Latin but is most likely of unknown Etruscan origin. Saint Sergius was a 4th-century Roman officer martyred in Syria. He is the patron saint of Christian desert nomads. Another Saint Sergius was a 14th-century spiritual leader from Russia. Also, four popes have had this name.

Hmmm. Not servant then.
And most definitely not love slave. You hear me, M&M?

Whenever I see your name I keep thinking that it refers to a Resident Assistant.

My real name means "The Lord is good" which is kind of dumb because it actually doesn't even try to describe me. You might as well have a name that means "The guy standing next to me is an okay dude".

My fake online name? Joel is a Hebrew minor prophet, apparently.

Tattoo of Bright Fame!

AKA "Scott Bob".

Well, I don't have any tattoos, and I'm not very Scottish
(mostly prussian with some random elements including scottish and south african... aka "Mostly White")
I'm not very famous either, although my name is. My last name is just a really derivative surname.

Risky means... dangerous or hazardous. Am I dangerous or hazardous? Actually it's just the nickname of my subcomic.

Nanda means "What?" or "What's this?" in Japanese. That makes me more than a little happy.

I think the man would have to come first.

Sorry, I'm not usually the one who does this, but no one else seemed about to...

Mine's "Little King" in Gaelic. I don't know if I should feel proud or insulted.

Okay, now that's ironic.

Mary means bitter

My real name "Dylan": Refers to the celtic god of the sea.
My hebrew name "David": The second king of the Israelites. Also means "well-beloved; dear".

Well I can't swim, and I don't really have any leadership qualities... I guess I'm dear to some...

Lady Toad's real name means life... and her Hebrew name means... life. Yay! And she's quite genki, so there you go. She's like, liquid mentos, baby. Her middle name is a derivative french/pet form of "Y H W H is gracious". And she's a gracious god.

Toadstool means... something amphibians sit on. Er... or y'know, a small fungus. Well, she's short. But mostly amphibians don't sit on her and she's not a small fungus. Ookay.

Erin means Ireland, Lee means meadow, and I have a snowball's chance in hell of dissecting "Firestine". It's pronounced styne, by the way... you'd be surprised how many telemarketers get it wrong and say "steen". They also say "stone", which I think is because the i and o keys are right next to each other on the keyboard, but that's beside the point.

What's ironic about this is that I'm not Irish, have never been to Ireland, and the closest thing to a meadow in this godforsaken desert is the dying, yellow grass in the tiny park across the street from my house.

QUIT STEALING MY NAME!

I had it first.

Be proud. Be king of your cubicle, bathroom, or interior car space.

Firestine? You're lucky, that's an awesome last name. You could be a Pyrokinetist or something.

I have the most mundane last name in existence. The only thing cool about it is that I can make jokes about the invention of Murphy's Law.

That makes me an Honest Warrior of the Seas.
