Quilte - don't feel too bad, I checked my first name, maiden name, married name and my daughter's middle name, and nothing could be found on either. Guess I'm just out of luck. However I do know that my first name is a name that was made up using part of my Dad's first name and my Mother's middle name, so that is most likely why for me. Same goes for daughter's middle name I made hers up as well. I did think that my maiden name and married names would definitely appear, as I have seen both before. Maybe since our names don't seem to show up that just means we are quite special and no one has found a meaning for us yet. lol.

I did research on my name a long time ago. Denise: Dionysus - Greek God of Wine & Sex; Michelle: in Italian it means "very young"; Pulgino: Italian word for "baby chicken"; Stout: short & round. So I am a drunk, horny, very young baby chicken who is short and round!

My name is Regina but everyone and anyone calls me Gina..
Late Latin name meaning "queen". It was in use as a Christian name from early times, and was borne by a 2nd-century saint. In England it was used during the Middle Ages in honor of the Virgin Mary.
