Well, you've already got Daniel, but my middle name is Adam, meaning, I think, either "man" or "earth", depending on whether or not the final "he" is present ('adam - man; 'adamah - earth). My last name, Seriff, means either "jeweler" or "tailor", I can never remember. My Hebrew name is David Avram: "Beloved of God, Exalted Father". I knew that Harper-Collins Bible Dictionary would come in handy! This is a cool idea! Much better than simple transliteration. I think I'll do this with Mungayöd as well. Thanks, Dan!
