Is his first name Apollo, by any chance?

I have a friend who is in a class with a stereotypical black kid (he speaks in ebonics, listens to rap music, wears "gangster" , etc.). His name? "Clishay" (pronounce it).

This Troper's surname ,in his language, has a meaning that translates to english as 'state of being drunk'. Not surprisingly, it is kind of a telling name

There was a genius kid at this troper's school named Joshua Wise.

This troper's name means "Lover of dogs" in Gaelic (Irish language, if you don't know). No, not like that! But yes, guess what his favourite animal is.

Is your name Conor?

Or Caleb?

Not RealLife but still a TroperTale. This troper takes part in a ''SoulEater'' RP. All player characters are [=OCs=] which sort of 'exist sideways' from the canon ones. Predicably, meaningful naming abounds.

This troper's name means lamb, which she finds hilariously ironic because she is agnostic and very much not a "lamb of god". Also, her favorite animal is the lion, and has been her entire life.

Is your name Agnes? I was born around St. Agnes Day myself. Fortunately, my family was Protestant and named me after a character on DaysOfOurLives. Living in Texas with a nickname like "Aggie" would've stunk.

Is it Rachel? I think that also means "lamb".

This troper's childhood dentist was named Dr. Wiggly. Teehee.

Similar to the above, this troper had his wisdom teeth removed by a Dr. Mohler. That last name is pronounced just how you'd expect.

The person responsible for fire safety of buildings at this troper's workplace has the last name that can be roughly translated to English as "Cinders". As in, what's left from a fire.

This troper had two teachers for one grade, named "Ms. Good" and "Ms. Nice". It was kind of reassuring.

This editor had a teacher who's last name translates roughly to english as "the bald one" He indeed was bald...but God help you if you joked about it. I also used to know a guy who's last name was translated to english as "doofus." he...wasn't one of the smartest people I've met.

This troper had a Calculus teacher whose last name was 'Bald'. It fit him well.

This troper's new 12th grade councilor (Something tells me Firefox didn't spell that right) is named Mrs. Anger. We all couldn't believe it, either.

This troper's name apparently means "listener". This is ironic since I am constantly yelled at by my parents for not listening to what they tell me to do.

Is your name Samantha?

Or Simone?

This Troper lived nearby the Pine-Coffin cemetery. That is to say, the cemetery created as part of the bequest of Mrs. Pine-Coffin.

This Troper's old classmate was always skipping class with excuses that our form teacher was hellbent on proving to be a pack of lies (which, well, they were, but the teacher could only prove it once)- guess what said old classmate's last name was? '''Alibi'''.

This troper suspects Saruman in ''TheLordOfTheRings'' to be one of these - a contraction of Sauron-Man.

The above troper is RightForTheWrongReason - Saruman is derived from the Anglo-Saxon for "cunning man" and is the translation of the name given to him by the Rohirrim for obvious reasons.

This troper owns a calculus textbook in which every available name attempts to be one of these, committing such atrocities as "Iona Carr" and "Izzy Sinkin"

I had that textbook. Don't forget about "Ella Vader".

This Troper's former head of Humanities was called Mr. Leader.

This troper has an Ag teacher named Mrs. Tillman. (Although it's really not that surprising, since we live in an rural area.)

This Tropers name - Elke - is supposed to mean "industrious". And you guessed it, I'm a fan of such things in a way.

This troper is named Cody. He's a programmer.

Although no examples spring to mind, this troper has run into this situation countless times. He sees it as further proof that existence is a story.

This troper's given name is Drake. Supposedly, his mother was going to name him "Dragon" outright, but his father vetoed this in favor of something more normal-sounding. Yes, he's an Otherkin type…

This troper and a friend went to a site about baby names and their roots/meanings. This troper's real name is apparently Greek for "helper of mankind". The friend's name on the other hand, is something meaning "kingly".

Is your name Alexander? Your friend's name could be Regis or Rex or several other names.

Averted with this troper. My name means 'Truthful/Honest', and I pretty much ''excel'' at lying.

This troper doesn't have one himself, but he has an odd tendency to cause these retroactively when naming characters. Normally I don't look up when I make the character until later. So, you've got Neil Dumont ('champion of the mountain') who lives on a mountain, Jordan ('river') who drowned in a river, Lykaois, ('wolf'} who is a PapaWolf, and Makkarin Jaeger ('sausage hunter') who is a homosexual bounty hunter. Keep in mind I didn't know the meanings of their names until after these decisions.

This Troper's given name is Kimberlyn. Yes, there ''is'' another letter at the end of my name, please remember that it's there. Breaking it down, you have two primary names combined: Kimberly and Lynn. "Kimberly" means "Cyneburg's Field" (or "Cyneburga's Field," depending on the site you look it up in), and "Cyneburg/Cyneburga," in turn, mean's "royal forest/royal fortress" (again, depends on the site). "Lynn" is from the Welsh word "llyn," meaning "lake." How is this meaningful?

The definition of Cyneburg: "royal forest" is meaningful because this Troper is so much more at ease in more forest-like settings than she normally is in any city. Even in video games. A ''lot'' of video games. As for the alternate interpretation meaning "royal ''fortress''"? This Troper has, at minimum, ''nine swords in the house''. Most of them are cane swords (all her mother's), a wooden katana (''also'' her mother's!), a normal wooden longsword, a wooden Keyblade, and one or two honest-to-goodness swords. ...and a halberd better made for someone like ''{{Willow}}'' currently hanging over the fireplace.

Concerning the "Royal" bit: she (and 60% of Europe, meaning a good number of other people in the states, too - the guy had 20 children and they ''also'' got around {{If You Know What I Mean}}!) is apparently descended from Charlemagne. (Yes, ''that'' Charlemagne.) Also, although this is ''highly'' unlikely, if you go back far enough in her family tree, she is somehow related to {{King Arthur}}. (...In hindsight, she could probably look like Saber if she actually bothered to style her hair...)

Moving on to the actual name first primary name itself, the definition of "Kimberly": Note that the meaning is "Cyneburg's ''Field''". This Troper lives in a certain area of Washington State, in the south-east, that is otherwise a ''desert'' save for the humongous number of ''farms'' you pass by on the highway. She walks to and from school regularly, and her fastest route involves crossing a large field of grass.

Finally, the definition of "Lynn": This is based off the Welsh word for "lake." This troper ''loves'' water. Most especially, she loves going to her grandmother's cabin on Lake Cour D'Alene in the summer. Combine with the "royal forest" bit from above, and she is in the one sanctuary that eases her own internal (rarely shown) stress.

This troper has a grandmother who used to roll her eyes whenever she heard about girls named Cassandre (a name of ill-omen) or Melanie (a dark name.)

This troper's name Aaron, loosely translated means enlightened one in Hebrew and is also the name of Moses' brother who did his speaking for him. More than one person commented on it because of my ability to speak in public without concern and with virtually no prepping.

Did I get really hammered and post here without remembering it? I actually nicknamed my younger brother Moses because of this.

This troper had a Criminal Justice professor who's last name was Lawson

My name (Cammi) means 'strong'. Anybody who knows me can tell you that I am freaking C4. I'm totally okay until you make me mad. Then, I will beat the living crap out of you. Muahaha.

This Troper's last name means 'Those Who Dwell By The Marsh', or 'Marshland'. Now guess what's a few miles up the road from where she lives.

This troper's last name has the suffix meaning "Dog" or "Wolf" in Old Irish. His full name meaning "Keeper of the Hound"...guess who turned out to be a lupophile?

The first thing you hear my school's art teacher say on the first day in her class: #QUOTE# "Hello, my name is Mrs. Ward, spell it backwards and it's 'draw.'"

This troper created a character named Crystal. She controlled ice. Yeah.

Subverted with this troper, his name is Kristian, he's Athiest. So are my parents, which makes me wonder why they called me that.

Well, I guess changing your name to Varg is out of the question, eh?

This other troper tried using meaningful names for several characters for a story he's working on, only to be told that they were stupid. What do you think of these?

Jack Craft, an aspiring engineer that likes building things and is known for his versatility.

Mak Sekker, a violent gang leader that wields a large knife.

Clara Gauzman, a nurse.

Chip "Lucky" Diaz, a professional gambler.

Lt. Sergio Ballisto, a soldier proficient in heavy firearms.

Corona Blaser, head of the fire department.

Agent Viper, a mysterious infiltrationist. His real name is David Pliskin, or is it?

Darcy Ravenheim, a black-haired mute with psychic powers.

This Troper's last name is Jensen, like the tool brand. His paternal grandfather was a carpenter, who even built (and maybe designed, I can't recall) his own house, which is still in the family to this day.

This troper is named Thomas, and true to my name, I'm a very skeptical person ("Prove it" is almost my catch phrase). I'm also the only one in my high school shop class who actually knew how to use a ruler (the biblical Thomas was a carpenter by trade).

Wait, is this some fancy shop class type of ruler I don't know about, or the kind you use for measuring the length of just about ''anything'' that most five year olds can figure out?

this Troper's brother is named Thomas. Thomas means 'Twin'.guess what we are?

This troper works at a supermarket and regularly gets a customer who wears thick coke-bottle glasses and a large handlebar mustache. His name? John D'Incognito. Really.

I have a cat who goes to a vet by the name of Dr. Fish.

This troper's name is 'Keitha', which either means 'Female Warrior' or 'the woods'. While the first part may not fit, since she is definitely not the brawny type, the second part makes sense, because guess where she lives!

This troper's name has two meanings, one in Latin and other in Greek. Latin meaning? "True image". Greek meaning? "Bringing victory". Now figure out why it's meaningful.

Is your name Veronica?

My character in the comic book I'm writing/drawing is named Fredrick. I deliberately left out the 'e' in Frederick because now it's Fred-rick (two names, two people). Basically its a shout-out to me in primary school who made up an alternate personality (for want of a better term) to cope with bullying, his name was Frederick McDouginstine - and I've had him since before I can remember.

This Troper's real name, Jessica, was pretty much invented by William Shakespeare. This Troper is a huge Shakespeare fan.

This troper's last name translates from the French as Thousand man.He's is 6'2, 300 pounds

Millehomme?

This Troper has seen someone whose last name was 'Ditz'. He was left wondering if she was actually ditzy.

This troper's surgeon was named "Dr. Hurtt." The jokes didn't stop for weeks, and it didn't help that I was about 9 at the time.

This troper considers himself a subversion, his name being Dónal Donal, the Gaelic form of Daniel, which means "world ruler" or something similar, and he considers himself a fairly laid back person with no interest in being in charge of anybody.

This troper saw a urologist named Richard Long, think about that.

CandyEntrails' real name is Azerbaijani and Turkish for "left", as in "left-wing". He's basically a hippie without the funky smell.

This Troper's real name is Jennifer, which is Welsh for pale, fair and white. Needless to say, she is an Irish {{Pale Skinned Brunette}}.

This troper has a StellarName and has a large interest in astronomy...meaningful enough. However, one day my dad decided to tell me a heartwarming story about how he and my mom never actually prepared a name for me. ''Fortunately'' he had a ''wonderful'' inspiration: a brand of an air freshener in mom's hospital room. "When I saw it, I thought: 'hey, Stella's a pretty neat name'. Your mom thought it was funny, and she agreed. So basically what I want to say is you're named after an air freshener. Good thing that name actually works."

This troper is called William and will only fight in self defence (of himself or his friends), having managed to get a yellow belt in karate. This is kinda funny when you realise that my sister is called Sarah (which translates into princess, according to The Other Wiki) and, in my opinion anyway, she doesn't seem even slightly in need of protection from anything (get your minds out the gutter, I didn't mean like that). Also, in a story I'm currently writing, the main character is describing a horrific event which drove him mad. His name (which is a GeniusBonus for fans of horror films and classic writers)? Alfred Jonathan Herbert West. Particularly funny when you consider it is written in H P Lovecraft's style.

This troper went to high school with a girl whose last name was German for "fast". She excelled at track and field.

This troper lives in America. One of his teachers has the last name Whitehouse. Three guesses as to what he teaches.

This troper fell in love with someone going by the name of Noel over the holiday season.

Subverted with this troper, who was given the middle name Rosamund, but who's family have nicknamed Pansy all her life because she has large blue eyes.

This troper's brother's boyfriend is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. His name is Angel.

This troper's ex-girlfriend was named Kate Price, but she called herself Belinda. In Latin, that name means "beautiful serpent". Enough said about her character.

This troper's first name means "birth of Christ" and last name means "church". The trope is averted in that I am extremely nonreligious.

"Cameron" literally means "bent nose/broken nose", and refers to someone who jumps into a lot of fights. I've mellowed out quite a bit, but my nose is still bent from being broken in fights.

My last name (sort of) implies that I'm as smart as a machine.

My name describes a holy person of the bible.

At the university this troper goes to, there is a teacher whose last names, translated from Spanish, mean "rolling a road". Sadly, he averts this trope as he teaches Engineering Economics, and not Transportation Engineering.

This Troper's first name tends to have alot of 'God' references.He constantly talks about changing the world on a big scale,for good,his favorite element is Light.His Last name means "The Supplanter"

His nickname comes with more FridgeBrilliance: His nickname is Mookie.Which means 'To run or flee.'Considering how much I like to keep moving around instead of staying still is one thing.Another thing this troper likes to do is help people.He found out that the term Mookie,was first heard in Spike Lee's Movie titled "Do The Right Thing."

This troper's first name in the Irish references a church - since about 19 years of age it was subverted in that his spiritual inclinations would be closer to New Age types and Wiccans and such rather than Christianity, but played relatively straight for about the first fourteen years of his life (he lost faith about that time and was technically atheistic but searching for his own beliefs nonetheless). However it can also have the Judaic meaning 'victorious', which sums up that when it's time to get serious he wants to always come out on top. This troper's dog's vet is named Dr. Needleman. Another vet in the same office is named Dr. Vogelman. Vogel is German for bird.

Played straight with this troper: her name means 'Illusion'. She's a part-time actress.

This Troper's French teacher's name is Frances Campbell. Pronounced "Francais." Our whole class wonders whether she's telling the truth when she says it's a coincidence...

''Hang In There'' by Murazrai is named as such because its purpose to tell the victims of the disasters that hit Japan to ''hang in there''.

This troper's mother named him Daisuke, A Japanese name meaning "Great Help" and according to my mother, That's just what I was, My father ran out on her when she was pregnant, her parents-in-law (My father's parents) disowned her, claiming that the reason my dad left is that she was being a total bitch and even went as far to say that the baby (me) wasn't his and that she got knocked-up after some (Non-Existant) drunken sex party, My mother was emotional mess, and Her parents and the unborn me were the only things that stopped her from slashing her wrists in the bath, after I was born, She got a tattoo on her right arm saying ''"My heart was gone, my life was done, But you, Daisuke, Made me live again, Daisuke, my blessed savior, Daisuke, the savior of my heart."''. I Love my mother to death for pulling through all of this. When my father returned 15 years later, I almost vomitted when he called me ''"son"''. My mother and I told him that he was not welcome here, I threw out the suitcases he brought with him which led to this #QUOTE# "You can't do this to me, I'm your father!" #QUOTE# "No, you're just some leach, A Vermin, I don't know you, you're not a friend, you're not welcome here and you are ''not'' my father."

In the language of his country (well, the country my family was from), this troper's name means "winner". YMMV, but I think it's quite appropriate.

My Last name is Grizzle, which means something along the lines of "complain whiningly" Guess what! Those are two of my favorite plastimes!

This troper (who's going to be anonymous) has the name "Julia," which means 'youthful.' This is pretty accurate for me, both in a good way and in a bad way. Then there's this friend of mine named "Kelly," meaning 'warrior,' and that certainly fits her!

This troper is mostly Irish, and her initials spell "KEG".

Natasha means born before Christmas. Not only was this troper born in October, but she also practices a religion that has elements that existed before christianity.

This isn't as obvious as some of the above examples, but this troper has a name that means "bee", and has a definite sweet tooth. Also, her Hebrew name means "moody", which she definitely is.

I'm going to guess Melissa.

My family has a twosome. My name is Skyler, which means scholar. I'm very studious and intellectual. My brother is named Atticus, after Atticus Finch from ToKillAMockingbird. Finch was a lawer, and my brother loves to argue. Conicidence?

This Troper's family had a lawyer who stabbed us in the back during a civil suit. The name? "Krulewitch".

This Troper’s first name either means “pure” or is a derivative of “Hecate,” the Greek goddess of magic, children, and borders (particularly that between life and death). Troper is tiny, pale, and somewhat childlike. For the other interpretation, she believes in magic, loves kids, and does paranormal investigation in her spare time.
