This was done here a while back, I think, but not sure, but I submitted "Verilon" as a new name .. and it gave me this. o O;; So totally accurate...

Whoa, nice, I wish to back your application for a name change.

Michael means "who is like god", as you can tell I like my name.

What does "Patrick" mean?

Looks good, my full name translates out as

What does "Patrick" mean?

From the Roman name Patricius, which meant "nobleman" in Latin. A 5th-century saint, the patron saint of Ireland, adopted this name (his birth name was Sucat). During his youth he was captured by Irish raiders and enslaved, but after six years of servitude he escaped to his home in Britain. Eventually he became a bishop and went back to Ireland as a missionary, where he succeeded in Christianizing the entire country.

Well, I knew who St. Patrick was... I just never knew the meaning behind the name.

Posting all that makes me look smarter though.

And saying it makes you an ego-inflated semi-asshole. :P (That's not to say I'm not an asshole, mind you. )

Hey, I know I'm an asshole, I just want to be a smart one.
