    Okay well Daniel is just one of those boring Western Judeo-Christian names, but I've got somewhat of an interesting story behind it: My mom being somewhat devoutly Catholic when I was born wanted to call me Daniel in reference to the Book of Daniel. My dad wanted to call me Daniel because it was the name of his best friend who died in a motorcycle accident and was also the name of his favorite football player Dan Marino (I latter one is doubtful lol).

    Going around school, Daniel translates to argi bushnuts. Something the outdoor ed. people learnt at camp, and it is the only name the remembered because it is funny.
    Ergh... I can't find one thing on the net to back me up. Ah well, I have full faith that the outdoor ed. kids 'know' what they are talking about.

    For I have known them all already, known them all:
    Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
    I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
    I know the voices dying with a dying fall
    Beneath the music from a farther room.

    So how should I presume?

    The full version of my name means 'Eternally Pure'. But I have the shortened version, so maybe I am only a 'Little Bit Pure'?
