The boy's name David \d(a)-vid\ is pronounced DAY-vid. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "beloved". Biblical: one of the most remarkable personalities in the Scriptures. David was a shepherd, musician, poet, soldier, statesman, prophet, and king. He wrote about half of the Psalms and very likely composed music for them as well. He is the only David mentioned in the Bible; his name occurs there more than a thousand times. Today there are variants of the name in almost every language group. Saint David (sixth century) is the patron saint of Wales. In Scotland, David was a royal name. .......... so what you're saying is that when naming you. Your parents clearly hoped for great things ........ and have been constantly disappointed!! ;D i still have time...

The boy's name Julian \j(u)-lian\ is pronounced JOO-lee-en. It is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "Jove's child". Variant of Julius, the family clan name of several of the most powerful Roman emperors. First used in the 18th century. Julien is the French form popular in France. ------------------------------------------------------------------- The boy's name Simon \s(i)-mon\ is pronounced SYE-mun. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "to hear, to be heard; reputation". Biblical: Simon was the name of two of the apostles, including Simon Peter. A common name from the Middle Ages through the 18th century. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hmmmmm... While both of those are wrong as far as I was aware, that version of my name's derivation is more complimentary than the one I believe to be true... so I'll accept it! ;D Bow to me, I am the Son of Jove!

It is usually taken to mean either "hairy" or (nicer) "downy" It's better than most other Roman Patrician names that included "Claudius" (Lame), "Brutus" (Thuggish) and "Ahenobarbus" (something to do with beards)

It speaks of a face slashed to ribbons with your Mum's leg-shaving razor, and covered in scraps of toilet roll...

Don't know what site you guys are using, but according to behindthename.com: BARRY Gender: Masculine Usage: Irish, English Pronounced: BER-ee, BAR-ee Anglicized form of the Irish name Bairre, which is a pet form of FIONNBHARR FIONNBHARR Gender: Masculine Usage: Irish Pronounced: FIN-var Means "fair hair", derived from Gaelic fionn "white, fair" and barr "head". Saint Fionnbharr of Cork was a 6th-century bishop who supposedly performed miraculous cures. The Barry Islands off Wales were named for him. Interesting that an Irish name should mean 'fair hair' - and my hair's anything but fair!
