Hah, and you think you have it bad. My first name is Julius. According to the link provided by Ava for name defs, my name originates from various Greek origins and meanings. Supposedly to mean "Downy-bearded." Whatever that is. Derivitation of the name supposedly comes from Jupiter (Planet resembling Zeus) or the fabled and famous Roman emperor who could have conqured the entire world, Julius Caesar. Unfortunately, Caesar had been stabbed to death in the Senate. BEAT THAT MR. "Oh I GOT MY HEAD CHOPPED OFF!" Though both incidents were done in public.
My Korean name is Ho-Gene. Or Kwak Ho Gene. Ho-Gene basically means "Powerful." So, yeah, my parents and grandparents are powerhungry people who decided to name me these names hoping I would hold true to the meanings. (I'm sorry Mom, Dad, Grandparents, but it ends with my generation!). Look at my GFF user name. The romanilized form of it from Korean either looks like "Moujogwe" or "Mojougwe." I'm not sure which one is correct, but it basically means "Invincible."
Jam it back in, in the dark.
