My name which is Kendall (obviously) means "Bright river valley"

If it was obvious, why did you post it? :Puzzled:

Spear. I'm Austrian and thus understand German :p

What does 'Speer' mean...
It's spelled with 2 e's, I'm not related to that 'Brittany Spears' who has so many 'issues'
I don't understand German...

She was saying that her name is Kendall, which was obvious from her user name: Kendall2000.

Yeah, that's seems obvious. I thought her name was just Kendall. That's a unique name, come to think of it.

I don't know what you're thinking of but in German, Speer means spear.

My name has a billion variations but it comes from Hebrew as well. I don't know why my mum picked it out, my sister wanted it to be Christiana. My real name hides in that one, though ;)

I presume that Spear means the throwable spear...
Do I presume too much?

It means exactly the same as spear in English. It can describe a throwable spear (javelin) as well as an infantry spear.

A good site by the way: Behind the Name - the Etymology and History of First Names

My name is Riku, which is a Finnish form of Richard (means "brave power", derived from the Germanic elements ric "power, rule" and hard "brave, hardy")

or Greek Gregory (watchful, alert) as a book of Finnish first name etymologies suggested it might be either Richard or Gregory. Riku is still quite different so I don't think it matters that much. :) I quite like my name, if you can say so :D
