I thought it was Little Joe's way of alluding to his dinky peepee.

Paul means little and a "stifel" is a type of German boot or shoe, hence
Littleshoes. Anybody who has ever done the research will be able to
confirm that "shoe size" has no direct bearing on the relative merit or
size of any other anatomical appendage.

And, like most other forms of sexual or anatomical innuendo is usually
indicative of the same inadequacy in the accuser, 11 EEE
notwithstanding, such inadequacy being the only reason they would
mention it in the first place.

But hey, thanks for the acknowledgement. Im getting tired of news group
in general but had heard so much about this rec.food.cooking that i
thought i might give it a look, before i discontinue my involvement in
these type of groups.

It is STIEFEL, with a silent "e". You mislaid your "e", but that does
not matter. I never knew that Paul means little. What a pretty name
you have. I wonder whether others can make such interesting names out
of their names.

Mine's not so inspired.

Does Carol mean Singing Apron, or is it Carol the singing part and
does Peterson mean Apron?

I just looked up mine. My maiden name, that is, Margaret Gottfried,
which means Pearl God's Peace. That is pretty, isn't it?

Carol is Song of Joy. My maiden name, Zastera, means Apron or Pinafore in
Bohemian. Maybe Singing Pinafore is classier.

That's lovely, Margaret! :)

It the closest i could come to finding a meaning for the family name,
though one similar spelling has 2 f's in the middle. Couple it with the
original meaning of "Joseph" (he shall give) and its just silly. "He
shall give little shoes".

I have a magical book in which such secrets are divulged. It is
called Encyclopedia. :o)

Michael means Who Is Like G-d.

You can also Google it. Look for Meaning Of Michael.

Damn! I read, years ago, that Carol meant, "song of joy." According to
this site, it means, "manly." My daughter's name means, "manly," too.

Carol, feeling a bit macho this morning

Most older unabridged dictionaries give lists of common European first

.........lots of snips..........

This thread sort of reminded me of this joke I received today.

THE ITALIAN BRIDE
Maria had just got married and, being a traditional Italian, she was still
a virgin. On her wedding night, staying at her mother's house, she was
very nervous.
Her mother reassured her; "Don't worry, Maria, Tony's a good man. Go
upstairs and he'll take care of you. Meanwhile, I'll be making pasta."
So, up she went. When she got upstairs, Tony took off his shirt and
exposed his hairy chest.
Maria ran downstairs to her mother and says, "Mama, Mama, Tony's got a big
hairy chest."
"Don't worry, Maria," says the mother, "all good men have hairy chests. Go
upstairs. He'll take good care of you." So, up she went again.
When she got up in the bedroom, Tony took off his pants exposing his hairy
legs.
Again, Maria ran downstairs to her mother. "Mama, Mama, Tony took off his
pants and he's got hairy legs!"
"Don't worry! All good men have hairy legs. Tony's a good man. Go upstairs
and he'll take good care of you."
So, up she went again. When she got there, Tony took off his socks and on
his left foot he was missing three toes.
When Maria saw this, she ran downstairs. "Mama, Mama, Tony's got a foot
and a half!"
"Stay here and stir the pasta. This is a job for Mama!!!!"

IIRC there are a lot of names which mean "Gift from God".

My son's name means "God gives" "man", which is kinda interesting.

Mark (i assume Marc is the same) means Mars the God not the planet
though at one time they were thought to be the same thing. Of course
Mars being the "God" of war and a wolf often used symbolically by
warriors the combination of Marc and Wolf seems symbolically
appropriate.

However much Mr. Wolfe's character may or may not be in alignment with
such sentiments.

The "greatly honoured grocer" "Mahatma Gandhi" could not have had a more
prosaic name while being one of the more dynamic and "militant"
personages of history. For all his pacifism (& prosaic name) he
inspired and led a militant struggle for freedom.
