I've been doing some research on names and their meanings after having a conversation about it with some friends. I thought I'd go ahead and share some of the sites I've checked out for anyone who's curious.http://www.surnamedb.comhttp://www.behindthename.com
These two offer the best info I've found about actual name origins. As it turns out, a lot of names are Hebrew in origin.

My name, James, comes from the name Jacob, which originates from the Hebrew name 'Yaakov'. 'Yaakov' means 'he who supplants'. Supplant means to replace one thing with another, but is often described as one who replaces another through devious means.

My full name would translate out to 'Supplanter of the Field', while my middle name means 'Counselor of the Elves' or 'Magic Counselor'. The middle name really caught my interest. Altogether it seems to mean 'Elf counselor who replants the fields'.

Interesting stuff.

Expect nothing, or you will get caught up in the future and not pay attention to the present. Just do the practice diligently, do it because you enjoy it, do it because you believe in it. Don't wait for results, don't wait for it to happen.
