tinytawnykitten Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Ooooh what fun, I am Jennifer Shula. Jennifer is Cornish and means white, or fair. Shula is Arabic and means bright. Sadly though my parents like a BBC radio show called The Archers (the longest running serial ever - it is still going) which has a Jennifer and a Shula on it. :roll: My son is Cian, he was 'made in Ireland' so we chose an Irish name. It means ancient, but we chose it cos we like the look and sound of he (pronounced key-in), not cos he is ancient. Love the name Rory, it is the top of my list if I have another boy. I was served by a guy in a shop the other day and his name was Rory and he was one of those unfortunate people with a speech impediment and he called himself Worwy. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jawa= In the fictional Star Wars, the Jawas are a pygmy and rodentlike race inhabiting the desert planet Tatooine. They are a hardworking people that work as scavengers and tinkerers. They are entirely covered in brown cloaks and their glowing yellow eyes are the only body parts visible. They use vast Sandcrawlers as transports in the desert world. These sandcrawlers can house a family unit as well as store cargo that they have collected on their journeys. Most Jawas belong to clans. Half of the clan work in the sandcrawlers while the other half live in desert fortresses in remote areas. These fortresses have high walls made from large chunks of old wrecked spaceships for protection against Tusken Raiders and krayt dragons. They also serve as a home for the rest of the Jawa clan which store the wealth gathered by the other family unit in the sandcrawlers. Wow thats big. And Im not quite sure what its meant to mean together. Hey wasnt this this thread meant to be about real names. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We considered Rory for Cian too but the Irish spelling - Ruairi, but in NZ it would probably be mistaken for a Maori name and then I would be forever explaining.
