A very long list of names for use in RPG's, what they mean in christian terms (Boys AND girls! yay!)

Ever wondered what your name in real life means? I mean... every name has a meaning ( I think ). HEre I go again with yet another article (Sweet, eh?) and this time its a listing of first name meanings (A-L). If your name isnt one covered in this article (if its between M-Z, it will be in part II) mail me at maltino_and_proud@hotmail.com and if I get enough, I'll put them in the second part (M-Z).
