[HPFGU-OTChatter] What's your name mean??

[ender_w]

One of my cousins had a book of Celtic and Gaelic names (our family is mostly Irish) and she told me that my name, Shanley, means "Child of the hero."  I immediately turned to my dad and told him he must be a hero (well, he is to me!).  It wasn't a little later that I realized the sexistness of my reaction and wondered why it couldn't be my mom who's the hero.  After all, my name is her maiden name.

  Look up mine in that special book of yours, please?
  I know Wanda means to wander or to roam. I don't know
  what Jean means and Mallett is French for mallett like
  hammer. Could be wrong, but if you can Jamieson, let
  us know Jamieson, thank you, and schnoogles to you!
