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 eyes

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