First name means 'desire' and 'protection'. German

Middle comes from the name of a saint, which came from a word meaning 'greatest'. Roman

Last name is Scottish ^^

I wont reveal the names though >😉
The middle one is pretty easy to guess if you know your latin ^^

So it's Kevin Pimp? Or since you say your surname first, Pimp Kevin? Sort of fits 😃

I could never find my name in any of those things...

🤣 Yea, I knew about that one. It's a type of weed. So my name's a scientific name for a species grass, how fun.

I'll stick to calling you a Pimp for now, until you reveal your real name. 😛
