I know there are a lot of baby name books out there on the market. Books filled with 9,000,001 names and meanings.

Looking up my short little name brought about some interesting results.

On the site Behind the Name, the results were less than fruitful:

Short form of GILLIAN

Looking up Gillian gave me:

Medieval English feminine form of JULIAN.

Alright, I’m an effeminate dude…

Moving on to the site Name Meanings, I get:

Girl/Sweetheart

Alright, that’s a little better. At least it recognizes I’m a female.

Baby Names at Parents Connect returned this result:

Down-bearded youth

Huh? What the hell does that mean?

But the real kicker that started this all was a post on Angella’s site, Dutch Blitz, that enlightened me to the fact that you can search for names on Urban Dictionary. Oh my… The results returned for my name were pretty dirty. So much so that I don’t want to include them on the site because I get tired of weirdo searches as it is… no need to fuel that fire. Here are some of the more publish-able results:

a really awesome girl

She is an intelligent girl and a boss

she is a princess and deserves everything she desires

I’ll refer you to this link so you can read the other definitions that I am choosing to not equate myself with.

So if you’re bored, look up your name… see what you get.

Everyone has dreams about this… What would you do with $10,000,000?

First, in all reality I would probably invest, save and make all kinds of practical and adult decisions with the money. I’m a miserly person and don’t like to spend money frivolously, but that isn’t really compelling reading. So this is pure dreaming…

On the Home Front:

• I would buy a tankless water heater. On demand hot water all the time!
• I would replace most of the flooring in my house.
• Redo the master bath.
• Replace the front yard with desert landscaping.
• Replace the backyard with a mix of artificial turf, more trees and places for me to grow herbs and veggies.
• Maybe I’ll just buy a new house that has everything the way I want it.
• I’d pay someone to help me decorate and choose furnishings.
• A big home theater set-up so we can watch movies at home without all the people around using their cell phones.

Personal Possessions

• All the running gear I would ever want.
• Tons of music downloads
• New clothes.
• And shoes!
• A new vehicle for my hubby
• New boobs! I’m kidding… kind of.

Experience:

• Race entry fees & trips to several of them.
• Pay the required fundraising amount for my mom and me to do a breast cancer 3-Day
• A trip to Greece
• A trip to Italy
• A trip to Japan
• A trip to Costa Rica
• A trip to Australia
• Tour of Broadway plays
