I always think of Karli, Karly, Carli, Carly as being basically the same name, only spelled slightly differently. Wouldn't it be a feminine version of Charles?

Umm My name is the Irish version of the name John...and someone told me my name means the merciful one...if that's true, I hope no one tells my brother;)

Sean:
Irish form of John, English form of Johannes, which was the Latin form of the Greek name Ioannes, itself derived from the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning "YAHWEH is gracious". This name owes its consistent popularity to two New Testament characters, both highly revered as saints. The first was John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus Christ who was beheaded by Herod Antipas. The second was the apostle John who was also supposedly the author of the fourth Gospel and Revelation. The name has been borne by 23 popes, as well as kings of England, Hungary, Poland, Portugal and France. It was also borne by the poet John Milton and the philosopher John Locke.

And Jennyanydot's version:

Sean:
Means God is Gracious, Merciful

Not really. There is a lot of hateful and mean people at schools. People who torture other classmates arent exactly the type who like everyone to be happy.

Ok, I take back my statement........ yesterday @ my school some 6th graders (one of which is my neighbor) ran out of gym class early (G, the last period) and ran down the science wing opening the classroom doors and cursing @ everyone in there and the teacher. One went right up to my science teacher gave him the finger and swore in his face and than ran off. The boys (there were 3 I think) ran out of the building and into the woods but some teachers and one of the ass't principals ran after them and caught em, the cops came took em dowtowm to the police station so now they got records (my neighbor already had one so this is just added to it) and are suspendend and god knows what else trouble they're in.

Ok, so Jeff, I take back what I said earlier.
