it probably does. every name has SOME meaning. unless you just make up a randoom sound and name your poor child that.
"I will call you hugblah!"
thankfully, that rarely happens.

yeah, I knew that Seth was the 3rd son of Adam and Eve, but I didn't know what it meant......interesting.......
My parents named me that because they liked the name, though, as none of my family is religious. my family gives little thought to the meaning of names.
My first name is Jeremy, actually, but I go by my seconed name, Seth.

it depends on what language

I'd have to go with the second one, because i don't think that i'm very rational, rather more impulsive.

Anubis, most of you will know Anubis as the God of the Dead in Egyptian mythology. I was a big fan of this figure a few years back, was really fascinated, but it wasn't good enough to make me change my whole username/email etc. for it...
And then came Z.O.E, swept me off mt feet, I suffered the wrath of Anubis, the main boss of teh series, Anubis was of course inspired by the Egyptian god, that's why Anubis from Z.O.E has a Jakals head, and ues a Staff in battle (Much like the real Anubis). That's when I thought I should change my username to Anubis.
Ever since then I've been a hardcore Z.O.E fan, so there'ya ave it. :)

Well, it's Turn-Based Strategy, kinda like Advance Wars or Fire Emblem, but it's Mecha based, and there's no unit contruction etc. you just fight with the characters you have throughout the game, I really like it, and TBH it's the only GBA game I still play. O.o
The GBA game is called "Zone of Enders: The Fist of Mars" by the way.

Name: Katherine
Pronounced: KATH-u-rin, KATH-rin
Gender: Feminine
Language: Greek
Meaning: Pure (o_o'')
From the Greek name Αικατερινη (Aikaterine). The etymology is debated: it could derive from the earlier Greek name ‘Εκατερινη (Hekaterine), which came from ‘εκατερος (Hekateros) "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of the goddess HECATE; it could be related to Greek αικια (aikia) "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name". The Romans associated it with Greek καθαρος (katharos) "pure" and changed their spelling from Katerina to Katharina to reflect this. The name belonged to a 4th-century saint and martyr from Alexandria who was tortured on the famous Catherine wheel. Another saint by this name was Catherine of Siena, a 14th-century mystic. This name was also borne by two empresses of Russia, including Catherine the Great, and by three of Henry VIII's wives.
Variations: Cathryne, Kathryn, Catherine, Katharine, Cathy, Kathie, Catie, Cadie, Caddie, Katie, Kate, Katryn, Katrina, Catrina, Trina, Cathleen, Kitty, Cate, Cat, Kat, Ky, Catriana, Catalin, Caterina, Catriona, Catlina, Cayla, Ekaterina

You pronounce that like "Rye-add", right? Sounds pretty cool.

Some people can't pronounce my last name properly. It's supposed to be "Ha-seen-toe", but I usually have people saying "Ja-sin-toe" (._.), "Ja-keen-to" (Sounds Japanese), or even "Ja-ki-nee-toe" (How on earth would they get that?).

Site 1:
"REBECCA
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, Italian, Biblical
Pronounced: re-BEK-a [key]
From the Hebrew name רִבְקָה (Rivqah), possibly meaning "a snare" in Hebrew, or perhaps derived from an Aramaic name. This was the name of the wife of Isaac and the mother of Esau and Jacob in the Old Testament."
Site 2:
"A heifer or a knotted cord."
... That's nice. -_-;;
I've also got a keyring with my name meaning on it. It says:
"From the Hebrew meaning "bound". She is pretty, umpretentious, smart and well-read, with a generous and giving nature."
WHY ARE THEY ALL DIFFERENT?!
Gah.
Slightly off topic: My mum told me that if I was a boy, I would have been named Matthew.

It is pronounced with last name it is spelled, "Lu Yijun" pronounced, 'Liu E jeun'
Or you can think my last part '君' = the suffix of Japanese -kun. They are roughly around the same sound.
