raises hand I have another guess! I have a feeling TofuQueen's parents are hippies (they name their kids with nature stuff right?). Is it Rain?

Since Shattered wouldn't let me put my own meaning to my name, I tried looking in one of those baby name dictionaries for the closest ones...

I was going to ask the same. Uh, is it something normally used as a name?

Not my fault! I promise I wasn't intentionally trying to take the meaning. Oh, and Erechtheus is the son of Hephaestus in the Illiad, by the way.

I go away and suddenly the spammers are the mods. Okay, I can adjust to that, but... Gorath?! And what's up with Mam's not being the top poster?

No, my name isn't Flora or Rain; yes, my parents were kind of hippies; no, my name isn't generally used as a name though there are a few of us around. 🤣

I'm bright raven.... according to this site.

But my mother gave me that first name because of a famous french knight who fought during the one thousand year war against the english... he was very short, broad, a long nose, no chin... he was ugly and rough. That was the reason why, very young, he was disliked by his own father... until one day he anonymly participate to a joust he was forbiden to fight by his father and defeated everybody but his own father whose he refused to fight. He was 15 years old. After that he build an army with all the robers and thieves around (like Robin Wood) and made them fight the english instead of targeting the merchants. He is said to be the father of the guerrila tactics in an era of fihgts ruled by strict protocols. They became the most feared group for the englishmen. They called him "the Broceliand's black dog". An able tactician and a loyal and disciplined warrior, he had reconquered much of France from the English when he died at Chateauneuf-de-Randon while on a military expedition in Languedoc.

Beside the name and the nationality, we have almost nothing in common. Dispite his physic, he was succesful with the girls. Well I'm not. He was almost a dwarf, I am 2 meters tall short of 4 cm. He was from west of France, I am from the east. He was the eldest, I have two older sisters. He was ugly... hey I said almost.

You are just killing us by not telling, soon I will have nightmares about trying to find it out. By the way, is it Summer?
You could at least give us a new hint other than just nature related.

Pia is not a name used at Poland, pet forms are messed up, and my name has a wrong explanation. Not only mine.

First half of my name isn't in there (correctly anyway... and I got that sinking feeling like when I look for those souvenir name tags), but I found about it's origin from one of my teachers who studied a bit on name origins...

ALLANAH
"Gift from God"

Second Half
MAE
According to the site. A variant of MAY. Derives from the month of May, which derives from Maia, the name of a Roman goddess. May is also another name of the hawthorn flower.
A little extra on the goddess... identified with Maia Maiestas (also called Fauna, Bona Dea (the 'Good Goddess') and Ops), a goddess who may be equivalent to an old Italic goddess of spring. <--- Weird coincidence, cause I'm actually born in spring.

woah...sweet name ^^

allanah

it sounds like something i would name myself =D

Sorry for driving y'all crazy (crazier? 🤣 ) but I've decided not to reply to any more "is it....? posts because sooner or later someone will get it right! Then I'll either have to lie, which I try to avoid as much as possible, or confirm, which will defeat the whole purpose of not telling my name in the first place. I probably shouldn't have posted in this thread at all. 😔
