As a first name it means curly-haired, and as a last name it means being descendent from someone named Caiside. I was named after Jack Casady.

Quote from: HorseChestnutClock;1328751Jari > Hjalmar > A soldier that wears a helm (or something like that)

It might just mean a helmeted person. So like saying a desk-jockey is a person who works at a desk, a hjalmar would be those folks that wear helmets, meaning soldiers.

Daniel: "God is my Judge" or "a judge"

Gregory (Middle Name): Watchman (or something like that)

Quote from: www.winslowtree.comThe meaning of the surname COOLEY is - the son of the servant of St. Mochuille; descendant of little Cole, a pet form of Nicholas (people's victory); one who came from Cooley, in Clare and in Galway.

So... A judging watchman born of the servant of St. Mochuille? Okay then.

Or, more likely, Cooley comes from here:

Since that's a big Irish thing, and my Dad's side of the family was Irish many years ago.

Diego
is a Spanish male name, derived from the Hebrew Yaʿqob (Jacob), the name of Saint James the Great, via Sant Yago, re-analysed as Santiago and SanDiego. . The assimilation of the final "T" of Sant into the name, a process called sandhi, has also occurred in "Telmo", the Spanish and Portuguese name for Elmo.
 The Portuguese variant is Diogo, quite popular in the Portuguese speaking countries and comunities.
 The name Diego is popular in the Spanish speaking world and also in Southern Italy (as are other Spanish names such as Fernando), due to the Spanish influence from the days of the Kingdom of Naples. For example, on the death of King Alfonso I of Naples (also known as Alfonso V of Aragon) in 1458, a famous elegy was composed by one Diego del Castillo. [1]
 The patronymic for Diego is Díaz (used for example by Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, better known as El Cid). As with most Spanish patronymics, it has become a common Spanish surname (see Diaz for a list of people with that surname). The form Diéguez is much less common.
 
I 0nce read it meant traitor or something

QuoteThe boy's name Christopher \ch-risto-pher, chr(is)-topher\ is pronounced KRIS-toh-fer. It is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "bearing Christ inside". From Khristophoros. Popular among early Christians. The legend of Saint Christopher as the patron saint of travelers grew from the story of a giant who made his living carrying people across a river. According to the legend, one day he carried across a child whom he discovered was actually Christ. Revived in the 1940s by the popularity of A.A. Milne's "Winnie the Pooh", whose human hero is called Christopher Robin. Christofer and Christoffer are German forms. Christophe (kris-TAWF) is French.

Ironic, considering that I am an atheist.

QuoteThe boy's name Benjamin \b(e)-nja-min, ben-jamin\ is pronounced BEN-ja-men. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "son of the right hand; son of the south; son of my old age". Biblical: Benyamin was the 12th, youngest and most beloved son of the patriarch Jacob and Rachel, and was originally named Benoni. In the Middle Ages, it was often given to sons whose mothers had died in childbirth, though it has no such connotations today. Brought into use by the Puritans until the end of the 19th century. After several decades of disuse, came back to great popularity by the 1970s. Ben is the short form; Benjie, Bennie, and Benny are pet forms.

Also ironic, since I am left-handed, I live in Canada, and both of my parents were young when I was born.
