That said, with enough Knowledge I'm pretty sure One Of These Days you're Gonna Find You actually like some songs, even blasting them over your Sound System so loud you could hear them all over your Big City even from a Room Without A Window.

Elvis is an Anglicized version of the Gaelic name Ailbe which means "Rock".

Do you actually expect me to believe the quintessential rock musician and "King of Rock" was named Rock?

This has to be some sort of conspiracy.

Also, Ailbhe (Alva) definitely means "white/bright", is usually spelled with the H (or séimhiú), and is now a girl's name, but I must say the Elvis connection is new to me so cheers

I have an extremely common last name which means "savior."

My first name means "Christian." So before I got married I was Christian Savior.

This was completely by accident. My parents I'm sure had no idea. It happens.

Incidentally my husband's name is much cooler. His name means "Victory of the Almond People."

I vaguely know someone who, when she transitioned and picked a new name, picked one that basically means Lucifer Devil. Because she's really into Satan, you see.

Through no fault of her own, and in 3 different languages, my cousin's married name is literally "Butterfly Butterfly Butterfly"

I only realized it a couple years ago. When I found out how to say butterfly in a variety of languages. It's kind of cool when you think about it.

Names that mean something are great, even accidentally

My name means King From *town in Netherlands*

Growing up I had a pal named John and another named Bart. They were named after NFL quarterbacks Johnny Unitas and Bart Starr. I don’t know how their moms went along with that but I guess things were different in the 1960s

In a wonderful bit of irony, my last name means “Church Party”, and our family coat of arms is a white church with a red roof on a green foreground and blue sky.
