What do our names say about us? // Communitystrike rapierJul 17, 2004, 12:25pm
Just been having a chat in AWGate and the babynames was brought up again...
I thought this was kinda funny... My name, Mark Alan Randall if we look up... http://www.babynamesworld.com/profile.php?seostats=1&name=Mark Mark: Origin: Latin Meaning: warlike, hammer, defender http://www.babynamesworld.com/profile.php?seostats=1&name=Alan Alan: Origin:Gaelic, Celtic Meaning:handsome, cheerful, noble http://www.babynamesworld.com/profile.php?seostats=1&name=Randall Randall: Origin:English Meaning:From the name RALPH .... So that would make me a ... Handsome and Intelligent English Guy with Warlike tendencies and likes a little Irish music... right? :O Its amazing how accurate these things are. - Mark R Currently Listening To: Ill tell ma mam strike rapierJul 17, 2004, 12:34pm
From: http://www.babynamesworld.com/profile.php?seostats=1&name=Rachael
meaning "innocent lamb" Now I am no expert, but if my RE serves me right did'nt the same people as the origin dictates slaughter lambs for protection against all kinds of evil?... Well how would you feel if you were called Rachael back then and your father came out with his axe going "Holy God protect us with this Innocent Lamb we are about to kill!"... Me thinks I would be getting bloody nervous if I was a Rachael back then.... - Mark R strike rapierJul 17, 2004, 12:38pm

Well, his "riches" didn't spill over to AWC and their investors. :)

AWC is different than AWI. :) AWI is the current company that owns
Active Worlds and AWC used to be the publicly traded company behind Active Worlds. Go look at Eep's history page at http://www.tnlc.com/eep/aw/history.html for the story. Builderz http://www.3DHost.net [View Quote] > AWI even has proper financial investors???? c pJul 18, 2004, 3:13am

As far as I know, you can't buy stock related to Active Worlds any
longer. AWI (the current owner of Active Worlds) is now a private company again and isn't publicly traded. While it may be possible to go public once again, I find it very doubtful and I'm sure any potential investors would be wary of it.
