Wikipedia says my name is Greek. Meli means honey and according to greek mythology, Melissa was a nymph who used to feed honey to baby Zues! I love that my name is based on factual events that really happened back in the day of gods being born out of other gods heads. Wierd. Anyways, I like it okay. Its pretty 70's. It reached its height of popularity back in 77'. So, I guess thats why I have feathered hair and love Waylon Jennings. I am not sure who came up with the name. My Mom said she thought of it while my Dad claims he thunk it up. Either way, I feel like having a boring and common name like "Melissa" is appropriate for me because I have a strange and somewhat over-the-top personality. It isnt a good idea to have a wierd name AND be a weird person. I would be like: "Hi I am Fiaglora and I love kittens and squirrels and making crafts." In this example, we see that Fiaglora is a crazy, who was probably raised by crazies and who definitely has a crazy ass name.We assume she goes to Renaissance fairs and takes a lot of mushrooms. When you replace "Melissa" with "Fiaglora", this person just sounds a little nerdy. So I DO like my name and wouldnt change it. Although, I have to admit to the world that when I met My husmand, he told me it "didnt fit me" and he wanted to try calling me "Penny" or "Lissa"...anything but Melissa. Luckily he married me despite my super 70's plain-jane name.
So...to summarize I want to say that my name is A-OK and I think you should all buy this shirt:

Lydia means "maiden" in Greek but my mom swears it means "smart mouth" in Italian.
Myth: My dad dreamt it up when my mom was pregnant. Queue dream sequence: an angel, slightly blurred and surrounded by clouds, hands a little girl named Lydia to my dad. She had a yellow ribbon in her hair.
Reality: I was delivered 7 weeks early after a grueling emergence surgery and was bald until I was 2 years old. They taped a ribbon to my head and declared the prophesy fulfilled.
Contrary to popular belief, I would have been named Luke if I were born male and not "Lydio."
Lydia was also an Ancient kingdom in what is now the area of Turkey. They began using coins in 610 b.c. and spoke "Lydian." (wikipedia)
Here's what I've got:
I'm married to Lost right now (shh! don't tell me anything! I'm only up to season 6, episode one).
I'm not a big t.v. fan...if I'm lucky I like one show, it likes me and we like like each other for awhile. (I promise, this is going somewhere) So, how weird is this? I choose Lost (or did it choose me?) and one of the characters not only has my first name BUT THEN there's another character with MY LAST NAME! WWWHHHAAATTTTT???!!!!
What does that mean??!! Ok, so yes, it is my former last name and yes he is a ginormous, sweaty man but still! What are the chances?
Point zero, I'm telling you.
So weird.
Let's see...my name is so obviously Irish and riverish that there isn't much to tell. Didn't like it growing up...wanted to be named Sam (Samantha)...love it now...can't imagine being called anything else besides Shan or Mommy or Shannie-Annie by the fam.
There are no cool celebrities named Shannon...they're all slutty and gross so I'm pretty pissed they took my name and slandered it.
But I'm over it now.
Jason is a common given name for a male. It comes from Greek origin, meaning "healer" or "Destroyer or worlds" (from iasthai - to heal). It also appears in the Hebrew Bible and in this instance may represent a variant of Joshua. It was adopted as an English name in the 17th Century
Jason (Greek: Ἰάσων, Iásōn) was a late ancient Greek mythological hero, famous as the leader of the Argonauts and their quest for the Golden Fleece. He was the son of Aeson, the rightful king of Iolcus. He was married to the sorceress Medea.
A feminine form of the name is Jacin, derived from the Spanish name Jacinta, or the Americanized version Jacinda - meaning Hyacinth.
I was named after my mother seen Jason and the Argonauts.
