Alex, your name is also Greek, Alexander, which means "defending warrior," although the origin of the name is thought to have come from a title of the goddess Hera, consort of Zeus. If I were you I wouldn't fret over it because your name may come from a Greek goddess, the preacher Apollos in the book of Acts, name comes from the Greek god Apollo, which means "destroyer."

Names all meant something through world history, and that he why parents were careful in picking the names for their children.

Cool, naming your children after relatives must help in feeling a link to your past.

Are you Greek also? Because of "casa" in your last name I thought you might have been Hispanic. Are there many Greek apostolics?

Not a link to my past, I'm Sicilian, both my parents are from Sicily. My mother was from Palermo, and my father from Medina.

My name "Dominic" is my middle name, which was my father's, and is originally from Latin for "Lord," my first name is Dino which in old Italian, and means "sword," or in Latin, "awesome."

My last name "Beni" which means GOOD, and "Casa" which means house, or home.

Yes, we have friends in Greece who are Apostolic Pentecostal.

Thank you Sister, did you show Brother Eddie my daughters? If he got to see that we have nice children, he might be apt to loosen up and agree to visit me. Seeing that I'm not a Neanderthal, and have normal looking offspring.
