This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for May 21, 2007:
Hmm. I like this. My name is Brandon.
My mother named me...said my name meant "brave." About that, I am not sure. Haven't been very brave as of late, especially with her. Later would I do research into my name, and find that it has several meanings.
~ "Little Raven" - Gaelic/Celtic.
~ Derived from a surname and place name based on the Old English for "hill covered with broom." Broom is a prolific weed. - English.
~ Also, "(He who hails) from the beacon hill." This one is both English and Teutonic (German).
The last one I perfer with great relish. For me, it implies a man that guards and keeps a beacon, or light. For me, it's like I was named the thing I was supposed to be.
