Probably. Unless it had a huge name database of all sorts of name origins, you know?

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

A lot of baby name sites have lots of names from various cultures.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

That's very true, they do. I didn't even think of those.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Ando and I went to one once when an American girl temped at the company. We wanted to know what her name meant. Her name was Melissa which means "beloved".

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

So what does your name mean, Hiro?

'Charles' means like 'man' or 'army' depending on the source. I dunno...doesn't really fit me, I don't think.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Ack! They haven't put his name in kanji, so I can't say.

"Man" would fit, but not "army".

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I thought it was on one of the notes Hiro sent sent Ando from the past, but...come to think of it, I don't think he signed his name...

Definitely not 'army.'

If they did, then it wasn't shown well enough for anyone to pick up. Cause they've only ever been writing it in hiregana.

You need a name that reflects your big brain.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Maybe. My middle name just translates to a Scottish place or something...

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

What is your middle name?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Irving.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Irving. That is an interesting name.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Kinda old fashioned...

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Old-fashioned is nice.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I guess.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

But it is. Old-fashioned names are getting more popular.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Some are, I guess.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

There are not many Irvings?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

No...not that I've met.

I've heard it more often as a last name, actually.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Honto? You have first names that are last names?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah. There was a famous writer named Washington Irving. He wrote 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.'

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Oh, I always assumed the textbooks wrote the name in Japanese style. That his name was Irving Washington.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Nope, it's actually the other way around.

But yeah...'Washington' is usually a last name.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Who would name their child after a city?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think read somewhere he was named after George Washington.
