In my continued attempt to get to know more about all of you, I wonder, in this day and age of anonymous internet, how much do we really know about each other? We are all friendly here, let's not hide so much! :lol:
So, if you are ok with telling people, what's your first name?
Mine's Daniel
Which means "Judged by God" if you are a God worshiper (I'm not), and I was named after a book in the bible. Although with my life, I am thinking of changing my name to Jobe :twisted:
My name is Paul, which means "Small". Nice to meet you Daniel.
Im Kuldeep... "Kul" means light. and "Deep" mean family. so what im meant to be is light of the family :? nice to meet u Paul and Daniel... HMMMM Paul Daniels is a british comedian :lol:
My name is G?ran, which is a Swedish variant of Georg. (About the goddamn part of my nickname, I was just annoyed with having to re-register and I still believed this forum was temporary.)

Hah, yep, I remembered seeing it listed on your site too. Something about panning things or using stereo delay to widen the image from what I remember of those days gone by.
Oh, and my name supposedly means "strong rock", but I say it doesn't mean anything. So one day someone decides to give a name meaning, and all bearers are supposed to relate to it? ::) :P

Hey, from what I remember, you survived a bus wreck. That's gotta count for some strength. And my last name means "argue" in German, and I love to argue, so maybe there is something to this name thing :lol:
Carlos, which in French means "strong" and in Spanish means "manly". I was born in Puerto Rico.
err...um...hmm.
My first name is Hebrew for "Gift of God", which could be further from the truth. :)
My last name is German, it used to have two n's at the end as in Hartmann, but when the German immigrants came to North America the second n was dropped for some reason. It's means strength.
I was born and raised in California, son of an artist, musician and carpenter. I have lived in several of the states in the US and now reside in Texas.
I grew up following the Christian doctrines (bible) but later denounced religion altogether to live a more spiritually fulfilling life.
I have a beautiful woman by my side and four beautiful daughters.
My children's ages are 9, 7, 3 and 1.
Currently I am 32 years old.
My phone number is.....
My S.S # is...
Happy to meeting all of you! :)

Hello everyone, I'm Robin. In Lemurian, Robin means nasal cavity.

Lemurian? Help the geographically impaired won't you?
My last name is Johansson. I won't tell you what it means.
Damn, babel fish won't translate Swedish :)
Wild guess: Son of Johan?
Quote from: "rewbs"Wild guess: Son of Johan?
yeah.
Mine's Frans. Meaning 'the free one'. So I have an obligation to live like that.
But since basic school I've been called Sam by everyone, because of my last name Samshuijzen.
(Guess where my nick came from..)
Quote from: "Sam_Zen"my last name Samshuijzen.
That's a cool last name, what country is that from?
That's one thing I like about the US (and about the only thing I like about it), is all the different kinds of people. And I love messing with racist rednecks who call imigrents (i cant spell it) foreigners, because I remind them that the only true americans are the native americans, then I tell THEM to go back where they came from :lol:
That's also why I like talking on the net, all the different cultures come together as one. And this forum seems to be full of mature, intelligent people 8) :wink:
2 Squirrel Havoc
Well, uhm, I thought the text under my avatar would be enough to guess the country .. :)
In that language it literally means 'sam's houses'.
And you're very right about this 'native' issue. Here they call the socalled natives 'autochtones', while the (descendents of) immigrants are called 'allochtones'. The last string soon standing for 'foreigners' or 'strangers'.
Even when born there.
So, I'm one of the 'autochtones', but who knows, maybe my ancestors once came from Portugal, Bangla Desh or Pluto.
And you're very right about the, this, net-community ! : "all the different cultures come together as one".
There, indeed, all the different ones can be converted into a single one, our global culture.
You call it "mature, intelligent people", I would call it "people with their own, independent common sense", but I think we both mean the same.
To those, no rules or laws from above are necessary. They choose freely, according to their own conscience.

Racism is EVERYWHERE. And if there wasn't racism between races, there would be between the sexes, and so on and so forth.
What most people don't realize, including the racist ones are that we are more genetically linked than meets the eye.
For instance, did you know that a lot of the people in Afghanistan are of Greek decent?
How about Sicilians, they're part Greek, part Arabic, part Moore, part Roman, part Norman, (German tribe) part Spanish and part Egyptian?
Did you know Northern Indians (from India) are part Caucasian? (Aryan)
Did you know a lot of caucasian people in the U.S have a small percentage of African blood?
Did you know that Celts, English, Swedes, Netherlands and Germans are descendants from the Vikings?
Did you know Native Americans are descendants of Mongoloids?
Did you know that Jewish is not an actual genetic race?
Racism is the dumbest thing man has ever wasted time with.
To place someone in a class system simply because they have more or less pigment in their skin, hair and eyes is absurd. To use the differences in culture and belief systems as a tool to hate is ridiculous.
People lost or gained pigment according to their environment's climate. Where there is more sunlight, there is darker skin, hair and eyes to allow protection from the harsh sun.
Where there is less sunlight, there is less need for pigment to protect the skin, hair and eyes.
On a spiritual level, anyone who is, quickly becomes aware that we are all from one energy source. And it doesn't stop there, we are one with every living thing in the universe.
Racism is pure unconsciousness of this energy and a cruel joke one plays on him or herself.
this viking here was named after a river..
Jordy comes from Jordan and means 'down-flowing'
when translated from Hebrew.

Sure, I'm not versed on my German. If it's vulgar, all the better! :)
if a guy or a man(n) is "hart" (like solid, rough, harsh) it of course means that he's able to stand anything, but in colloquial sense it means that he's totally drunk, like not being able to stand'n'walk anymore, pure alcohol flushing through his veins...
maybe he would also be a "hartmann" if he's using viagra...you know what i mean :wink:

I have the opposite problem, when I get plastered.......hmmmm.....nm, too gross :)
I'm David. I intend to use my real name when the site comes back up again, though, as "Wong Chung Bang" is great when you're 12 but not when you're about to finish university.
Mine's Sebastian. Nice to finally know something about you guys :)
My name is Joel, supposedly a transcript of Jahuel which seems to be a hebrew name that means "Jahve is God"...
And my lastname is Segerb?ck, which roughly translated would mean Brook of victory. :)
Hello everyone.
I'll be Coleman from coal miner or so I'm told. Born in Memphis, TENN USA. I live in good ole (5 years behind everything) Arkansas.
I'm Per. It's short for Petrus, a latin name meaning 'cliff'. My last name is Borgman, and that's in no way Star Trek-related :P It literally translates to "Castle Man".
Funny, my dad's name is G?ran, and my brother's name is Daniel. Yep, I'm from Sweden.
I'm Lasse which is, I believe, a finnish form of Laurence which supposedly means from the Laurel tree or crowned with laurels.
I'm not finnish though but danish.
I'm Sean, which is an Irish variant of John, although I'm actually English.
My surname is Germans for one of these, according to some spurious website i've encountered:

Me on my holidays.
Finally some more scandinavians here!
