What does your name mean? (page 5)

Soledad...... I think that is a beautiful name. I have often thought I'd like that as a middle name of a daughter should I ever have one.

Chevy of 'yes I think about that kind of stuff, so give me a break' class

Corvin

Corvin is derived from the latin, Corvinus, Corvus, which means raven or crow.

The Story:

Basically, folklore holds that Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund had an illicit affair with a Romanian woman, Erszebet Morszinai. She became pregnant, and upon hearing the news, Sigismund gave her a gold ring telling her to bring the infant to Budapest and present the infant to him along with the ring and the child would be raised in court. She embarked upon her journey from Wallachia to Buda with the infant, Hunyadi Janos, and her brother. While stopped at a river to wash clothes or something, she left the baby on a blanket and gave the ring to him to play with. A raven stole the ring and flew up to a high tree branch nearby. She heard the baby crying and saw what had happened. She called to her brother who shot the raven through heart with an arrow, and retrieved the ring, the key to Janos' future in the court of Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund.

Other stories put Janos' son, Matthias Corvinus, as the one to slay the bird and retreive the stolen ring. I like the first story the best, though.

talesin

talesin: tah-lah-sin

Should be spelled taliesin, but I simplified, not realizing it now looks like TALE-SIN. Nope, not a tale of sin, folks. Sorry!

One of my top 5 books of all time, The Mists of Avalon, uses taliesin as one of Merlin's names. I have been obsessed with Arthurian lore all my life. Merlin, a Druid, a protector, a behind-the-scenes manipulator for the good, an old soul and a majykal spirit who can change form at will and is in tune with nature. (Read Mary Stewart's series: The Crystal Cave, The Hollow Hills, etc.)

I relate to Merlin, emulate his ways, and love the name taliesin.

Unrelated, but it is also the name of FLWright's famous home, and the name of a real troubadour (do a google, there is actually one of his songs written down) from the dark ages.

Sunspot

Mine was left over from the H20 days, and when I signed on JWD I just kept the same name. Basically (before I was going to forums, I needed a name for other things online) I ran through a bunch of names that come coming up "taken" and after several tries---"Sunspot" popped into my head. It went through---and I've kept it!

Holey Cheeses - King of the Juice = Holy jesus - King of the jews.

No, I do not have delusional messianic aspirations, but, I do have a healthy contempt, irreverence, disregard, and perhaps downright disrespect for religious pretence, pomp, bigotry, ritual and hypocrisy. This is possibly reflected in my board name. Don't like it? You can call me Peter.
