Decided to check my middle name too...
MARTIN Gender: Masculine Usage: English, French, German, Scandinavian, Russian, Romanian, Czech, Slovak, Slovene, Hungarian, Bulgarian Other Scripts: Мартин (Russian, Bulgarian) Pronounced: MAHR-tin (English, German), mar-TEN (French), MAWR-teen (Hungarian), mahr-TIN (Bulgarian)
From the Roman name Martinus, which was derived from Martis, the genitive case of the name of the Roman god MARS. Saint Martin of Tours was a 4th-century bishop who is the patron saint of France. According to legend, he came across a cold beggar in the middle of winter so he ripped his cloak in two and gave half of it to the beggar. Five popes have borne this name. Two other influential bearers were Martin Luther, the theologian who began the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, and more recently Martin Luther King, the American civil rights leader who fought for racial equality.
Oh hell yeah - I share my middle name with the Roman God of War ;D (Who was stolen from the Greeks, who may have stolen him from the ancient Egyptians - Martin is perhaps a better middle name than Wepwawet, Onuris, Bes, Montu, Neith, Sekhmet, Sopedu, Heru or Har-nedj-itef though!)

I think Sekhmet is a pretty cool name, but wasn't she a Lioness? Lion-headed sun goddess associated with battle and destruction, although she was also believed to be a healer too!

Generally not, no - he fought for 88 years with his older brother (also a God) and came out victorious (even managed to grow back both his eyes after they got gouged out), so I'm guessing a human probably faces pretty long odds against him, no matter how beloved, courageous or manly they be, be they from Moor Towns or not...

JAMES Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Biblical
Pronounced: JAYMZ [key] English form of the Late Latin Jacomus which was derived from Ιακωβος (Iakobos), the New Testament Greek form of יַעֲקֹב (Ya'aqov) (see JACOB). This is the name of two apostles in the New Testament. The first was Saint James the Greater, the apostle John's brother, who was beheaded by Herod Agrippa in the Book of Acts. The second was James the Lesser, son of Alphaeus. Another James (known as James the Just) is also mentioned in the Bible as being the brother of Jesus. Kings of England and Scotland have borne this name. Other famous bearers include the inventor of the steam engine James Watt, the explorer Captain James Cook, and the novelist and poet James Joyce.
