    Allison - It's from the word Adelaide in Old French. Which means "noble kind".

    My name day is on July 14th. In Finland, everybody celebrates their name day. Do you guys know your name day?

    My middle name is Beth. Which is a transliteration of ba'it in Hebrew and means "house".

    And my last name, is hard to trace a meaning too. It could possibly mean "Of the Lambs". I traced my family history back to Normandy in France and it sounds like a slurring of "Des Agneaux" or possibly it's a bastardization of the word "Daniel", which I don't believe to be accurate.

    well i've found 3 different family crests for my name, but they all display my last name which i'd rather avoid on the forums, not to mention the fact that the site keeps telling me that i "don't have permission to right-click" on the crests so i don't think i could show them without paying for them first...

    My first name, Aidan, comes from the celtic god of the sun, Aodh. I think it means that I am his son. It also means 'little fire', which I feel is quite apt.
