It's like they didn't even bother to look it up! I love that song. What does it mean? Is it also a person?

[tigress-oils.livejournal.com]

"Lord, have mercy (Lord, have mercy)
Christ, have mercy (Christ, have mercy)
Lord, have mercy (Lord, have mercy)."
(Congregants repeat after priest, beat breast to indicate "Amen")

Or

"Kyrie eleison,
Christe eleison,
Kyrie eleison"

[ciara-belle.livejournal.com]

It's Greek and translates, usually, to "Lord have mercy".

McCall's mother was obviously quite the sewer. Her sister Butterwick must be thrilled.

I've heard "Briar", but I can't say that I've EVER heard "Brewer".
ew.

my brother's middle name is brewer because it's my mom's maiden name. the OP *did* say some of them were middle names, so that may be the reason for that one. or they are a milwaukee brewers fan (and sick minded to name their kid after a sports team).

> Kyrian Alaeison

I was guessing they'd named her (him?) after the Mr Mister song "Kyrie," (lyrics here) (http://mrmister.lyrics-online.net/Kyrie.html). (Seems more likely than that they excerpted a line from a prayer.)

The thing is, that song (apparently) hit the Billboard #1 back in 1986. If the individual in question is 18, that means the parents, after hearing the song, sat on the name choice for a couple of years. Without bothering to look up the actual spelling.

Kind of impressive, in a sad sort of way.

Those boys names are AWFUL. Oh man.

[sayga.livejournal.com]

Fosdick. I HOPE that was his mother's maiden name... Even so, she should've known she had a crappy name and not imposed it on anyone else.

Brissetty sounds like food. Like a combination between some kind of cheese and those little bread things... I have no idea how to spell the word it makes me think of, and when I tried to google it I was so far off google didn't make a suggestion. Oh wait, here it is: bruschetta. Yeah, like a mix of bruschetta and a weird cheese.

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

or like Brisket (brisquet? sp?????) meat at any rate, and Biscotti (like, soda bread biscuit thingies) had a baby. Brissetty!!! yay!

ok, so you HAVE to know that I'm kidding right? lol

I like Leigha, Andria, Brewer, and Kyrian.

Kyrian Alaeison- it could be a play off of Kyrie Elieson... it's like a Latin song in the Catholic Church

[tigress-oils.livejournal.com]

well, if you want to get all technical and stuffy, it's a latin transliteration of a greek prayer. ;)

(i know, maybe you didn't want to get all technical and stuffy.)

[so-there.livejournal.com]

it's not latin at all. they just plain use the greek for that prayer in the latin mass.

latin wold be like dominus miserare or something (ok, I know I butchered the endings on those, but I'm just pulling the roots from other parts of the mass. dominus vobiscum = the Lord be with you. miserare nobis = have mercy on us.)

[tigress-oils.livejournal.com]

Κύριε ἐλέησον, Χριςτὲ ἐλέησον, Κύριε ἐλέησον

the greek would look more like that; it is a latin transliteration.

[so-there.livejournal.com]

I get that it's not written in the greek alphabet, but a lot of people use this alphabet so I still fail to see how that makes it *latin*. at any rate, it's pronounced the same either way, and it's said or sung in the mass, not printed on an overhead projector.

[so-there.livejournal.com]

actually, it's greek. when they do the mass entirely in latin, the kyrie is the only part not in latin. and it's a prayer, usually sung but still said when there is no singing.

[tigress-oils.livejournal.com]

I could deal with Brewer

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

Fosdick? Seriously? Why on earth, in this day and age, would you give your child a name that included the word dick? Poor kid :(
