[stylist] word: the name Francois

[vejas]

It seems to be Latin for "from France." Though my name is very 
uncommon, it means "wind" in Lithuanian.  It's not even in many 
Lithuanian baby name lists.
By the way Brad, my name is Vejas, not Fejas.
Later,
Vejas

Fejas.  The rules are for you to create :).  I
wonder what the meaning of the name is though now
that  I think of it.  Brad by definition for
example, is a nail.  A very small nail, a brad.
Hmm I wonder if that is why my wife called me
pinhead yesterday? ;) So if you're bored, I just
looked up my name on the net and found this:

The name Brad is a masculine name.  It has its
origin in Old English.  Brad means 'broad or
wide'.  This name is the Romanian word fir.  The
name has only one variant Bradd.  Bard, Braddy,
Braidy, Braedy, Bradey, Breed, Brit, Bret,
Bradie, Brod, Brody, Byrd, and Bird are similar
names for Brad.  Some of these similar names
could be used as girl's name.  It could be used
as short name for Bradford and Bradley.  Bradford
is 'broad ford' and Bradley is 'broad meadow'.

According to the census conducted in United
States of America in 1990, Brad was popularly
used as a male first name.  Brad is commonly used
as a surname.  Brad Pitt and Brad Renfro are
famous actors by this name.  Brad Ellsworth is
the senator of Indiana.  Brad is also used as a name for a place 
in Romania.
