It is very easy to see as far as someone takes apparent for real, illogically bases his judgement on a single fact and jumps into final conclusions without any scientific inquiry

i'm pretty sure that my name, levi, is hebrew and means "joined in harmony".
nulnuk, if you don't mind, i'd love to see my name in hebrew...
José = the same as the English "Joseph", coming from Hebrew. I don't know the exact meaning, but according to what I've read, it's related to adding, increasing, tagging, enlarging etc. (NulNuk can probably be more precise here.) I got that as a second name for two reasons... When my mother was pregnant, my grandmother used to pray for St. Joseph for everything to be alright with us, and then, completely unexpectadly, I ended up being born on St. Joseph's Day (19th March). Don't ever call me "Zé" though, as I hate it to death!...
