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?

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, -Steve

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?

Everything. Choose wisely.

No pressure. :) I know... I have another friend that has already impressed upon me the importance of a name. I ought to get him here on Hubski. I think you two would have some good conversations.

And that makes you automatically cool.

My name comes from the latin "Gaius", which means "Happy". Not as cool as alpha0's, but, you know, not bad.

Well, that backfired.

This is simply wonderful.

Aha! So I am of the guilty party in this case. I could beg the excuse of dyslexia but a more interesting reading had me musing about how indifferentiation breeds familiarity .. ;)
