What's your real first name?

[moonraingirl]

I was wondering what are your actual (first) names? I think it might be nice to know each other this way.

My real name is Vesna. Yes, really, it's a name of Spring Goddess. But it truly is my real name that I have in my ID card. It's a common name where I was born. So it's kind of funny I ended up on this forum

My name is Ajene. Its Nigerian. I believe in the Yoruba culture, it means one who speaks the truth.

That's a nice name. How do you pronounce the j sound? Like in English, Spanish or otherwise?

My name is super plain; Jessica

Ioana- a really common name in my country. It comes from the St. John the baptist...or, how my parents thought when they named me, from Joanne D'Arc (I like this version better)

No, you pronounce it like "ah-juh-nay" or "ah-zhuh-nay"

I'm Sean ... always been told it was Gaelic for "John" - however - it has also been commented that the name Sean, being an ancient Gaelic name with multiple meanings is definitely not the Gaelic or Irish form of John because the Gaelic language is more than 5,000 years old and the English language is a little over 1500 years old.

Apparently in Gaelic the word Sean means: "ancestor, ancient, senior or old aged". Another possibility is sèan, meaning: "a charm." The early Irish sén meaning: prosperity. Séan meaning: "happiness, good luck" (1) or "deny, disown, renounce" (2).

Thinking about it, John means "gift from God", if Sèan
means 'a charm, prosperity, happiness or good luck" perhaps due to the similarity, John just became associated with the name?

I suspect my parents just liked the best Bond, Sean Connery .

Patty. My mom always liked the name Patricia. So did every other mom at the time. I went to school with probably a dozen Pattys.
