The Name Game

[wheeloftime13]

okay... so i'm thinking of starting a name game where I put a name down, and somebody has to either guess what the meaning of the name is or where the name comes from.... sound like a good game?? points will be 4 for guessing where the name came from and 6 for the name meaning...

 

first name:

 

Victoria

 

 

names used so far:

 

Victoria (Ithi)

Duncan (Sorcha)

Elizabeth (Talya)

Tyler (Talya)

Kelsey (Talya)

Score:

 

Ithi: 6

Sorcha: 10

Talya: 30

Sound like it comes from Victory to me. Queen Victoria was the first person in the UK to be given the name.

[wheeloftime13]

yup... and Queen Victoria's real first name was Alexandrina, but after she became queen, she changed it.... and she got the name from her mother, a German...

[wheeloftime13]

new name:

 

Duncan

[Ithillian Turambar]

yup... and Queen Victoria's real first name was Alexandrina, but after she became queen, she changed it.... and she got the name from her mother, a German...

She was christened Alexandrina Victoria. However, from birth she was formally addressed as Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria of Kent. She didn't just pick a new name when she became Queen.

 

Duncan ... Hmmm sounds kingly. I can't help thinking of MacBeth

[wheeloftime13]

that's what the biography I'm reading said.... she was supposed to have some really long name, but her uncle vetoed her parents.... and there have been kings with the name Duncan... 

[Ithillian Turambar]

Oh well I thinks that's true. She wasn't supposed to have a Royal name see, as Charlotte was supposed to have been queen.

 

But she was always known as Victoria.

 

Duncan was the name of the first guy who invented small donuts that could be dipped in chocolate and other various sauces.

[wheeloftime13]

lol... my brother's name is Duncan and he hates it when people call him Duncan Donuts... 

[Sorcha al'Parr]

I don't know exactly where the name came from, but because the first time I saw it was Scotland, I'm going to guess it came from Scotland. It means dark warrior.

[wheeloftime13]

it did come from Scotland, and actually it means brown warrior, but it's close enough...

 

new name:

 

Elizabeth

[Talya]

It's a Greek version of a Hebrew name and means my god is an oath

[Ithillian Turambar]

Interesting. Are these all royal names?

 

[Talya]

they seem to be...

[wheeloftime13]

not really... I'm picking random names... and you are correct Talya...

 

new name:

 

Tyler

[beanie]

Tyler comes from the yodeling leotarded evil rabbit :nod:

[wheeloftime13]

lol

[beanie]

Sorry, I really suck at word games :P

 

*watches and learns*

[Talya]

Tyler comes from the yodeling leotarded evil rabbit :nod

 

my daughter has a few in her class...the yodeling leotarded evil rabbits that is >.>

[Talya]

interesting, I looked this up, but I first thought it might be something to do with Taylor (so sewing)...biut it means tile-maker or layer. I would imagine old english

[beanie]

 

Tyler comes from the yodeling leotarded evil rabbit :nod

 

my daughter has a few in her class...the yodeling leotarded evil rabbits that is >.>

 

She must hate her class :nod: I've heard the yodeling leotarded evil rabbits often make people faint on sight.

[Talya]

She wears sunglasses...helps with deflecting the impact

[wheeloftime13]

lol... Talya, you are correct on both accounts...

 

new name:

Kelsey

[Talya]

That's a hard one. I haven't really heard that name used. I did see it was from old english, but it was a surname before it was a first name, and could be to do with where people lived (South Kelsey - Lincoln), but it says it could mean Victorious ship...or another one fierce Island...not sure which I would prefer...haha

 

I like this game btw, I like to know where names come from. 

[wheeloftime13]

me too... :) and correct again... it's one of those names that have multiple meanings...

 

new name:

Timothy
