Hallo guys! Guess what? I am having fun at Thinkbabynames.com. Heyy! Do not get the wrong idea. Uh uh... I am not going to specify that wrong idea because you guys are wacky. Oh well. If you are so dumb that you still don't know what wrong idea I am talking about, then too bad. Warning: Do not go asking around what the wrong idea is because the people might tell you, but you will get crowned with the nickname of some naive ("innocent" is definitely too kind a word to use. Ooh. I sound mean. Sorry, guys.) girl or boy.

Oh well. I am checking on my own name, my parents' names and some other people's too. It is fun! Try it! Lol.

I came across the origin and meaning of Yvette, which is the so-called Christian (when I am not a Christian at all??! For your information, I am a Buddhist, if you do not know.), and thought you might be interested!

"The girl's name Yvette is pronounced ee-VET. It is of ~~French~~ origin. Feminine form of Yves; diminutive of Yvonne. Actress Yvette Mimieux.
Yvette has 6 variant forms: Ivett, Ivetta, Ivette, Yevette, Yvedt and Yvetta."

"Yvette is a very popular female first name, ranking 348 out of 4275 for females of all ages in the 1990 U.S. Census. Yvette is a rare surname as it was not ranked for people of all ages in the 1990 U.S. Census."

Actually, I had already known about these hateful facts ages ago (It was like when I was Primary One or Two. I cannot really remember. It is just too long ago.) but I did not feel like telling you guys. And, oh yeah, Maman, don't "yay" me after reading it. It was meant to cheer you up though. xP I did not want to tell you directly because I do not know how to phrase it and knowing my character, I know I will end up leaving out nice facts and start to slander your beloved country. Lol.

Oh yeah, I found out (This time it is really a discovery for me. I did not know all these facts below, alright?) about my mother's name: Alice.

"The girl's name Alice is pronounced AL-iss. It is of Old German origin, and its meaning is "noble, exalted nature." Variant of the Old ~~French~~ name Adeliz, from Adelaide. Made famous by the child heroine in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1865) and "Through the Looking Glass" (1872), who was based on his child friend Alice Lidell, daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, Oxford. Ballerina Alicia Markova; writers Alice Walker, Alice Sebold; actresses Ali McGraw, Ally Sheedy, Alicia Silverstone; singer Alicia Keys.

Alice has 100 variant forms: Adelice, Adelisa, Ailie, Aillie, Allis, Ala, Alais, Alaisa, Aleceea, Alecia, Aleece, Aleetheea, Aleethia, Ali, Alica, Alicah, Alicea, Alicen, Alicia, Alidée, Alie, Alika, Alikah, Aliki, Alis, Alisa, Alisah, Alisan, Alisann, Alisanne, Alise, Alisha, Alison, Alissa, Alisz, Alitheea, Alitia, Aliz, Alla, Allecia, Alleece, Alleece, Alleeceea, Alles, Alless, Allie, Allice, Allecia, Alleece, Alleeceea, Alles, Alless, Alli, Allice, Allicea, Allie, Allis, Allison, Alliss, Allissa, Allisun, Allisunne, Allsun, Ally, Allyce, Allyceea, Allys, Allyse, Allysia, Allysiah, Allyson, Allyssa, Allysson, Alyce, Alyceea, Alys, Alysa, Alyse, Alysia, Alyson, Alyss, Alyssa, Elissa, Elke, Elli, Ellie, Ellissa, Ellsa, Elsa, Illyssa, Ilysa, Ilysah, Ilyssa, Ilysse, Leece, Leese, Licha, Lichah, Lissa and Lyssa."

"Alice is a very popular female first name, ranking 51 out of 4275 for females of all ages in the 1990 U.S. Census. Alice is a common surname, ranking 32489 out of 88799 for people of all ages in the 1990 U.S. Census."

Alice is of Old German origin. Yay! I didn't know that before. Haha.
It is a variant of the Old ~~French~~ name Adeliz though. Bleh. What bad news. Yay. But it's still German. Yay! And I didn't know that there are SO MANY variants to that name. I was feeling so dizzy going through that hedious list. Eurgh.

Also, my dad's name: Arnold

"The boy's name Arnold is pronounced AR-nold. It is of Old ~~French~~ and Old German origin, and its meaning is "eagle ruler." From the phrase "arn wald." Brought to Britain with the Norman invasion, lost popularity after the 13th century, and briefly revived in the late 19th century. An early saint of this name was a musician at the court of Charlemagne. Rare today, perhaps because it has vaguely dorky connotations. Arnie is the pet form. English novelist Arnold Bennett; golfer Arnold Palmer; actor Arnold Schwarzenegger (I think he is a German, but I am not sure. His name sounds like one though :]).

Arnold has 20 variant forms: Arend, Arn, Arnaldo, Arnaud, Arnauld, Arnault, Arnd, Arndt, Arne, Arnel, Arnell, Arney, Arni, Arnie, Arno, Arnoldo, Arnot, Arnoud, Arnout and Arny.

Arnold is a very popular male first name, ranking 224 out of 1219 for males of all ages in the 1990 U.S. Census. Arnold is a very popular surname, ranking 170 out of 88799 for people of all ages in the 1990 U.S. Census."

Ha. Arnold is of Old ~~French~~ and Old German origin. Heyy! Why are ~~French~~ and German always grouped together? Heh heh. Never mind. Then we won't quarrel, right? Yay!

Some more names. My Godsister's name: Berlyn.

"The boy's name Berlyn is pronounced BER-lin. It is of German origin, and its meaning is "son of Berl.""

"Berlyn has 3 variant forms: Berl, Berle and Burlin."

"Berlyn is a rare male first name as it was not ranked for males of all ages in the 1990 U.S. Census. Berlyn is a rare surname as it was not ranked for people of all ages in the 1990 U.S. Census."

Yay! It is of German origin! No ~~French~~ at all this time! Yay!

Haha. It is so hilarious. Did you notice that she is my God SISTER? And that her name is a BOY's name? Haha. I pressed "Enter", after typing her name, by accident when the option is at "Boy". Sheesh. And the Search Result came out like this. I am not dumb. I tried to search for the Girl version with the option at "Girl" but it gives me these three annoying words, "No results found." Sheesh. Haha. But it is still very funny. It is so ironic. Never mind. No offence, please. I did not mean to offend you, Sis. Hahahahaha.

I am so high now! I cannot stop the laughter. It is burning (This word sounds wrong. But never mind! I cannot think properly now.) inside me. ;p

[EDIT] I just realised. All my close relatives' names are of ~~French~~ AND German origin altogether, or just German ALONE. Most of my other friends have names of Hebrew, Greek, Italian , Gaelic, etc., origin. I just do not see any ~~French~~ or German. Is our family so fated to the Franco-German (Heyy! I did not cancel ~~Frenchiefied~~ Franco this time. Alright, Francophile [Or is this how it is supposed to be spelt? Sorry. I am too lazy to check. Lazy pigg-o me. Heh heh. {Oh man. Why am I using so many Brackets within Brackets. It is getting confusing. Sheesh. I had better get out of them NOW.}] ?) society? Oh man. That is so cool!!! Haha.

[EDIT] Oh yeah. Thanks for the reminder, Berlyn. Why is it ONLY my name that is of ~~French~~ origin ALONE? Humph. That is so weird! Lol. XD
