Names

Someone on a mailing list was asking about names. What's your full name, and what does it mean?

I am Michael David Alberghini

Michael has been the first or second most popular name given to male babies in the U.S. for each year since 1954. My parents aren't very creative. :)

David was my fathers name, and also biblical. Dad was a big old Jesus Krispie.

Alberghini is Italian, obviously. An albergo is an inn. Alberghi is the plural. Adding -ini in Italian is a diminutive. So my last name in Italian basically means "little hotels"

What about you?
