I've noticed that some of our fellow hubskiers have been calling me "ciao" instead of "caio". The first is an italian word for 'goodbye'; the second, besides my first name, is also the first person present of the verb "to fall". ("I fall" -- "Eu caio")
What's in a name?

Vanessa - My name was invented by Jonathan Swift in a poem called Cadenus and Vanessa, and refers to his lover, Esther Vanhomrigh

Damn, that's really nice. My name Renner dates back to the Anglo Saxons and means "Council" or "Army". Not overly poetic but still... it's a realpalindrome.
Nice. I hope I've not made the mistake, caio. :)
I have a surname name that you get when a great grandparent with a difficult Polish name immigrated to the US. Interestingly, it seems to be unique to our clan. We haven't found another person that has the name, but isn't related. However, there is one person that seems to play in a symphony in Italy with our name. I have no idea. My wife is pregnant, and we are thinking about names. What is in a name?

Caio, my apologies. Great clip from a great movie. Paul Giamatti is a great actor. Although he has had many wonderful roles in film, his role as "Veal Chop" in "Safe Men" is one of my favorites. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmlHS5SDBDY
great character. ciao,
