My parents never gave me a name because it was *Christian* or whatsoever, they just gave me my name because they liked it. Afterwards they (my mom) realized that i had a *very* Christian name, namely "Carrier of Christ", and she was very intrigued by that; little sculptures of my *name-generator* are all over the place, and in our cars, because it is said that he is a protector of the travellers.
