[stylist] word: the name Francois

[Jacqueline Williams]

Brad,
You mentioned many names meaning Brad. One of these was Brett. I named my
third son, Barnaby Brett Williams. It was so that we could substitute Bright
on those days he was, and Brat on the days he was. 
Well, not really, but it was a strong after-thought. Now, of course, he is
just plain Barney.
Yes, names are fascinating.
Jackie

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
