not normally my sort of thing, but hey.
name meme. yay.
1. Small seal, apparently. That's the swimming, fish-eating, ARF ARF type.
2. Bearer of Christ, I think. Certainly that was the original guy's job in religious terms, anyway.
3. Wanderer. I only found this out recently from my brother. It's of Viking origin, I think.
4. I refuse to answer this on the grounds that it's plainly obvious, or it's a dumb question, or both. It's not like my parents thought about the name in that way.
5. No idea. Never asked. Maybe my sister's name.
6. The middle name is the surname of my paternal grandmother.
7. Enh. It's a name. A Waider by any other name would give off as many pheromones. I like the abbreviated form of my middle name more, sometimes.
8. I don't think there's a "like best" about it. It's just, you know, ingrained in my self-identity.
9. Recently, a lot of people identify the name with the lead singer in a successful Boy Band. This isn't a good thing by any stretch of the imagination. Oh, and some people use the Irish variant of it without asking if that's okay with me, and it's not, because of some associations from childhood.
10. See #7. I wonder how many people use this answer.

I also had one irritating friend-of-parent who to this day insists on calling me "Rones".
