I got this from Wikipedia. The name John derives through Jewish and Christian tradition ultimately from the Biblical Hebrew name יוחנן Yôḥānān, short for יהוחנן Yəhôḥānān, meaning "Yahweh is merciful." I dunno what it means. :lol:

Both my given names are Greek and, together, mean "pure farmer". That's kind of weird because I'm Scottish/Chilean, not "pure" in any sense of the word, and live in the inner suburbs of a city of more than 3 million people. My surname is Scottish, and to the best of my knowledge, means "brook". Well at least I live near Moonee Ponds Creek. :)

'Yahew' is 'God' as I understand it so I think it means 'God is merciful'.

Sarah means 'princess' in hebrew. :roll: the Sarah in the bible used to be 'Sarai' which i think means 'she who strives'.
she was a pretty cool character because when god told her she was going to bear a child in her old age, she laughed. i think she might've been the only person in there to laugh at god and get away with it.

genesis 18:12-18:15
"Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"
"Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but you did laugh."
'featherbrained' is a word i saw in calvin and hobbes and liked.

My given name means "grace of God" or "wealthy one." I have been very wealthy in the grace of God to have the life I have with the issues I do.

BuyerBeware is pretty literal. Be careful in deciding that you want to pick up this merchandise; the Manufacturer accepts no liability for whatever harm comes to you from caring about me. It's drawn straight from Blue's Traveler's "Look Around": "And I don't care; buyer beware of me, cause it might get rough..."

Basically I got tired of walking on eggshells and feeling endless shame and guilt for my very existence.

Carpe diem, friends. Caveat emptor.

My actual name's meaning, at least my first and middle name, are 'God is my salvation' and 'Who is like God?' My last name, Conner, has no actual meaning.

My username, however, is from South Park's Kenny, but I thought the 'they killed Kenny' line was a bit overdone, so I stuck with 'its'.
