    I was watching a video and one of the players said they looked up their last name n etymology and it meant something ridiculous. Feeling inspired and ready for a shaming, I went to the same site and got this as a result:

    Yeeeeeeep. That sounds about right.

    You should post the site, for those who want to keep their surnames undisclosed.

    yeah you should post the site you used because everything I was finding was just the definition of etymology and etymology.com is all "we hate you hyuge." Such is life.

    Ancestory.com:
    I knew it was French because it's part of my nationality, and I also knew it meant marsh. Was hoping to see if there was anymore to it, but apparently not.

    Well, I'm doing my first name, since nothing comes up for my last name.

    I didn't even know it was Hebrew. Huh.

    Either I have no clue how to use this, or both of my names are completely original. Since they are different though, I'll just use the other versions of them

    My first name is actually spelled as Tylar
    Middle name is Mattheu
    I get nothing for my last name though. Most I know is it's German, so if anyone knows what "Bowker" means, let me know.
