Does your name play a role in defining who you are? Last names can mark a person’s class or familial history in a way which defines them before actually getting to know their individual personality. If one of your ancestors was a great philanthropist or activist, you’ll probably be painted with the same brush when people first meet you. Other families suffer an unsavory stigma based on the misconducts of their forefathers or even nuclear family members.

My first name came from the river in Ireland which I knew. I didn't know it was associated to my sister's name too. That's pretty cool. For my last name I was expected to hear about a circus or something but instead found a gaelic form...its "warlike"...I should tell that to everyone who teases me! :P
expected = expecting
My name means to bear christ...
uh... boo!
