I am not sure where my parents got my name from. Being the only boy of 4 kids, for some reason they chose Derek - I don't know if it has got any meaning, but I am aware that there weren't many using the names when my parents chose it when I was born.

My given name is David. I was named after King David, who is spoken about in the bible. The meaning of my name is:"The Beloved".

My name is Malgorzata (EN: Margaret) When my mother born me and was still in hospital she got that name from a friend from room ... she said i have to be Malgorzata. And my name means Pearl :)
