Help[Facts] Re: My name and meaning of Sty
in reply to a message by CheBanana
Actually, the dictionary definitions are: 1) a pen for swine; 2) a filthy, low, or vicious place.
Somehow I can't see Mr. McGoldrick's parents intending to name him that. Possibly they intended "Stylites", as in St. Simeon from your neighborhood (okay, Syria), who was a pillar of his community for 20-odd years.
Also, sorry to see the Drachma biting the dust after 2,600 years in favour of the Euro. It's only a matter of months now before they change the name of "Hellas" to "Southeast Belgium". Bloody shame, that.
