So, I thought I'd make a thread about everyone's names, and the neat little facts that go with them.

Basically just tell us something about your real life name(s). Assuming of course you're comfortable giving out your name publicly

[TotalShrooms]

My name is Jacob. It's my great grandfathers name. He was black.
It means ''heel-grabber'' apparently. I have no idea what that means. Something in the bible.

[Colon Leftbracket]

Colon: It's a character on you key board that you type by hitting shift semi-colon. It is used in punctuation for... stuff I don't feel like looking up at the moment. Looks like ":" It also could mean your pooper

Leftbracket: comes from Left - Bracket, another punctuation mark used commonly to replace a left parenthesis, looks like "{", doesn't mean your pooper

If you put both together and make Colon Leftbracket it makes ":{" a mustache face, as seen in the Stachioed Studios logo



What are you talking about that's totally my name!

[Silver Marcato]

My name is Matthew, and the meaning of it is, and I hope i don't get tackle-trolled into the ground by atheists when i say this, but my name means "gift of God." My parents say its enforced in my creative talents in composing, some art and writing, but i don't know. It seems legit.

[Molestia'sScribe]

Ryan- Irish, meaning 'little king'.
That'd be a hell of a short-lived kingdom.

And, 'little'?!

Spoiler

[duhgentee]

Lol My last name is Radichel..... Wtf does that mean?!

[ spas-ticShotty ]

I know Kevin is a Gaelic (Irish) name which I remember means "handsome" (That avatar backs it up ).

I think Andersson is "Andrew's Son". If you didn't know, the 'Andersson' with 2 "ss" is Swedish, unlike the 'Anderson' which I believe is American.

I have no clue what 'Michael' stands for .

Taking Colon's cue

Doctor: means "healer"
XFizzle: ebonic derivation of "XFace" which is the abbreviated name for "Crossface"
