CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

My son is called James.JAMES

Pronounced: JAYMZ [key]
English form of the Late Latin Jacomus which was derived from ??????? (Iakobos), the New Testament Greek form of ??????? (Ya'aqov) (see JACOB). This is the name of two apostles in the New Testament. The first was Saint James the Greater, the apostle John's brother, who was beheaded by Herod Agrippa in the Book of Acts. The second was James the Lesser, son of Alphaeus. Another James (known as James the Just) is also mentioned in the Bible as being the brother of Jesus.
Kings of England and Scotland have borne this name. Other famous bearers include the inventor of the steam engine James Watt, the explorer Captain James Cook, and the novelist and poet James Joyce...

BARBARA
Gender: Feminine Usage: English, Italian, French, German, Polish, Hungarian, Slovene Pronounced: BAHR-bahr-a (English), BAHR-bra (English), bahr-BAH-rah (Polish) [key]
Derived from Greek βαρβαρος (barbaros) meaning "foreign". According to legend Saint Barbara was a young woman killed by her father Dioscorus, who was then killed by a bolt of lightning. She is the patron of architects, geologists, stonemasons and artillerymen.
Never liked my name!
My mom always told me she wanted to name me Barbara. The reason I was named Judith is because that's what my grandma wanted to name me. Obviously, grandma won out.
But I always hated the name Judith, and I used to beg my mom to have my name changed to Barbara. I even went for a spell in my youth where I called myself Barbara.
But now in my older years, I really love the name Judith. But I still would have preferred Barbara!
It's a good name. Be proud. I am jealous.

MARIA
Latinate form of MARY. This was the name of several queens of Portugal. It was also borne by the 18th-century Habsburg queen Maria Theresa, whose inheritance of the domains of her father, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI, began the War of the Austrian Succession. In some countries, for example Germany and Poland, Maria is occasionally used as a masculine middle name.
MARY
Usual English form of Maria, which was the Latin form of the New Testament Greek names Μαριαμ (Mariam) or Μαρια (Maria) (the spellings are interchangeable), which were from the Hebrew name מִרְיָם (Miryam). The meaning is not known for certain, but there are several theories including "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", and "wished for child". However it was most likely originally an Egyptian name, perhaps derived in part from mry "beloved" or mr "love".This is the name of several New Testament characters, most importantly Mary the virgin mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene. Two queens of England have had this name, as well as a Queen of Scotland, Mary Queen of Scots.

Mine wasn't there ~ not surprising ~ but all the modern versions were; see below. Oh! The name is Jehane.
Jane: English form of Jehanne, an Old French feminine form of Johannes (see JOHN). Jane Austen was the British novelist who wrote 'Sense and Sensibility' and 'Pride and Prejudice' among other works. Also, the central character in Charlotte Bronte's 'Jane Eyre' bears this name.
JOHN
Gender: Masculine Usage: English, Biblical Pronounced: JAHN [key]
English form of Iohannes, which was the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH is gracious". This name owes its consistent popularity to two New Testament characters, both highly revered as saints. The first was John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus Christ and a victim of beheading by Herod Antipas. The second was the apostle John, also supposedly the author of the fourth Gospel and Revelation. The name has been borne by 21 popes and eight Byzantine emperors, as well as kings of England, France, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Portugal and Hungary. It was also borne by the poet John Milton and the philosopher John Locke.

How good's your French? Try slurring the Je as you would for J'aime or something similar then add arn. so J'arn. Or if you prefer go from the Celtic Sian (it's the same name btw) which is pronounced Sharn. The sh sound become a J'.
