ghiniSomeone 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?

Walton: English, from "walled town." It's a common name in the UK, and while its exact origin is unclear, there are a lot of Waltons in Oxfordshire.
