What's in a name?

[prkchnyl]

Everyone is given a name, and some choose theirs. I'm one of those who has both.

I want know what your name means! Do you think your name suits you?
If you don't know or really never thought about it, you can tell me whether or not you'd ever wanted to change your name, what to and why.

For me, as far as I was told, my name means 'vivid, bright and fiery' but could also be interpreted as 'fruitful.'
And Charlie...well, that's a name I chose for myself with the cartoon Charlie Brown in mind. My mom wanted me to be Philip.....can you imagine?
I think my birth name suits me well but I also like how Charlie sounds when people say it. I always thought it sounded warm and friendly even from strangers' lips.

What's wrong with Philip? It's cute. w
翼 just means wings. I guess it's just a generic kind of cute name? But I'm cute so it definitely fits. ^^
