I have a name thats probably on no list at all (except for some results) Keuning (real Frisian). Means something like King I believe, but im not sure

So I was siting in my living room, minding my own business when BAM, a pigeon crashes into my window. I see it outside and it looks really hurt, so I try to take it in, but it still has energy left to run away into the bushes. I decide to just put some food there, if it wants to recuperate a bit. Then I start calling around, because there is no organisation that helps wounded animals like they have in the Netherlands (found many sites but always sites from Netherlands).

Eventually I found a bird-care center. So I went for another try, spend half an hour trying to catch it, maneuvered in the bushes, put it safe in a box, rode 40 minutes to the care center, brought it in and rode back. What a long day, but the bird will live, so that's good news

Strangely enough, when I walked out of the bird care-center, there was a dead pigeon on the road. Looks like I attract it.

I can change my name at any time I like - it costs a fee, though. But who knows, maybe I got married last year (in which case it's free)

I have a common first name and an uncommon surname of Irish origin. Strangely though, I get that from the side of my family that have lived in England for 400 years rather than the side that came from Ireland 90 years ago.

I have an eight letter long surname, which is Breton and means "bottom/foot/start of (a) hill". 600 odd people have the same name.
I'm still supposed to be living in Brittany, even though I've moved places 3 years ago, and people here, though they've got French sounding names for most of them, name themselves Bretons.
Yet, it seems none of them is able to friggin' spell those eight letters properly. :-/
Recently I've been called Pellouin, Pellerin (means Pilgrim), Canard (!) which means duck, and most of times they write it with an m instead of a n in the end, to make it sound Latin (makes sense in Brittany... oh wait...), or end it with in instead of un (it sounds almost the same), or with only one n instead of two in the middle.
It's only eight letters long, dummies...
And that's without mentioning Breton people from other places, who write it properly but pronounce it with the local Breton accent, much to my amazement, and make the end of it sound weird (they make it sound like "run" in English. Never mind, I'm a runner after all... ).

Nothing particular about my first name, besides people forgetting the middle score (it's a composed one).

I still have at least one or two homonyms in this country, according to Google.

Tryhard!

Are you like a animal lover or something or is that just common practice in Europe?

Great little act Ian, that will surely make your and birds life better.

(***) YEAH! THAT FEELING WHEN YOU JUST OVERCOME TWO PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN ANNOYING YOU FOR A LONG TIME

I'm very happy now

watch movie Paul
it's a hippy alien where paul take the dead bird in his hands and revive the bird
after few seconds he eats that bird
verry horibble and funny at the same time

"admire" is not a Latin word...

You probably mean "admirari", which is the Latin infinitive for the English verb "to admire"

Well,you got me. I am not familiar with latin that much.

I study Latin at the university so I am quite obliged to make that remark

It's okay. It's always good to learn something new.

Anyway, my first name is Anselm, some of you might have heard of it before but in Belgium NOBODY knows how to pronounce it I actually saved a note in my cell phone so I wouldn't have to say my name 4 times in a row if I meet somebody I don't know yet. Then they can read it and just say it as it's written

The name means "protected by God" in Hebrew or something like that, but my parents just chose it because it was one of the earliest name they found in the book of our family tree, which goes back to 1445 or something like that.

The earliest person the writer of the book found was a "Loonis", which is the name of my older brother, he was married with a "Mayken", which is the name of my older sister, and they got 3 sons: Pieter (which is my 2nd name but too common here in Belgium), Maarten (which is my 3rd name but again too common), and Nicasis (which they probably didn't like ). Pieter had several sons, including an Anselm, so they chose that name

I recently had the opportunity to look into that book and that's really amazing to see, how your family grew from the Middle Ages I really was fascinated because it was the first time I could look into that book, even though my dad just keeps it in his house, in a bookshelf in MY room (but I don't go much to his house, my parents are divorced and I live at my mother's house).

Anyway, my last name then means "someone who is heavy and slow" (I don't know what the English word for that characteristic is ), but then in Dutch ofcourse

My last name, even though it sounds royal, isnt royal at all. Somewhere in the 1700s, a few friends thought of a game of fierljepping (jump with a pole over some water, how frisian do you want it). The winner was allowed to name himself Keuning and that is my ancestor. My first name is English, but I dont remember what it means

To some extent it does, though the spelling is different (at least today).

Originally the surname was directly related to the father, so that if Michael got a son named Peter he would be named Peter Michaelsen, his son would then be called Petersen etc...

At least in Denmark I don't think you have to go much further back than three generations to find this practice some places in the country.

My own last name translates to GreenCastle, but I'm not exactly sure where it originates from. Only that there is two different families carrying the name in Denmark

In France, only rich and noble people had surnames until the middle-ages.
Peasants only had a first name.

When everyone was forced to have a surname, either they got their father's first name, either a physical characteristic (Petit (small), Legrand (tall), Legros (fat), etc.), either they were name after their job (chevalier (either knight, either someone working around horses), couturier (sewer), etc.), or after a place (which was obviously the case for my ancestors).

Then it's normally evolved, with spelling mistakes, local accents or languages (that's me again).

That explains why people from the same geographical area may have the same relatively rare surname as me, but are not related at all, they just had the common characteristic that consisted of living down some hill.

Not common practice in Europe, no

Can't stand to see suffering around me
