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?

McCall: Son of Couil (or some such, forget the spelling) who is some semi-mythical celtic king or something. About as Irish as I am a monkey, there is not a drop of catholic blood in my family. Pretty sure we trace back to the Glasgow area and were Orangemen in Ulster for 1-2 generations before becoming dirt farmers in north Georgia... (where we remain).
