Everyone has a name. They
help to identify us. Most
names have a meaning, al-
though some of them have
been lost over the years. In
the English speaking world,
Celtic names usually had ,
physical themes such as wide
shouldered or red-haired.
Other names wished for good
luck or god -like qualities. As Christianity spread, Biblical names be-
came the norm, during the Renaissance, classical names were popu-
lar and names such as Faith and Hope became popular during the
Reformation. The end of the 1800's found names of jewels and flow-
ers in vogue. Now, film and TV actors as well as -entertainers play a
large role in the names we choose.
Most parents when they are choosing names give at least some
thought to how the name will fit their child as they grow. A name
that -is cute for a child in the crib may be a huge burden when it is ap-
plied to a 200 Ib. man! With the help of several books, I have tried to
find a meaning for several of the boys and girls names which were
most popular in 1992.
The most popular boy's name last year and for the last seven years
was Michael. It is a name drived from Hebrew and means ."Who is
like God". He isthe Archangel in Revelations who defeats Satan and
the forces of evil. St. Michael is regarded as the patron saint of sol-
diers.
The next most popular boys names are: Matthew - Hebrew mean-
ing "Gift of the Lord". Matthias is the Greek form of this name and
-the name of Judas' replacement in the twelve apostles.
Christopher - Greek meaning "bearing Christ". St. Christopher is
the: patron saint of travellers.
Andrew - Greek meaning "manly". St. Andrew was Christ's first
disciple.
Ryan -:probably Gaelic from an Irish surname.
Daniel -Hebrew meaning "God is judge".
Some of the other names in the top 25 of choices of boys:ats in
Canada include David, number 10, James, Robert and John,as 14,
19 and 23 respectively.
Two Hebrew names top the list for favourite girls' names in Cana-
da for 1992. They are Jessica and. Sarah. Jessica means "God -is
looking". It was almost exclusively a name given to Jewish girls until
about'the time that"Bhakespeare wrote the Merchant of Veniceand
he applied.it.to one of his heroines. It became more popular in the
1800's,but its:realpopularity is very recent.
Sarah means "princess". In the Bible, Sarah was the wife of Abra-
ham. During •the I870's, Sarah along with Mary and Elizabeth be-
came one of the three most popular names in England.
Btmantha holds the number three spot here in Canada. It is be-
lieved tribederivedfrom an Aramaic word meaning "listener". It is
very much -a 20th century name.
.Elizabeth isthegirl's.name which is in 23rd place.
Magic Bacon, Onion and Cheese Quiche
This is called magic because you don't have to be bothered rolling
out a crust; you simply addthe ingredients in the proper order and
the crust mysteriously goes to the bouom and the filling rises to the
top
strips itie&ih -lo

1 cup grated cheddar cheese (250 mL)
1,112 cups milk (375 mL)
3/4 cup Bisquick baking mix (175 mL)

the bacon until crisp. Crumble. Chop the onions, using all the white
and bit of the green. -Spread onions, cheese, and bacon in the bottom
of the pie plate. Combine the milk, Bisquick, eggs, salt and pepper in
a mixing bowl. Beat for 1 minute with a hand mixer, until smooth.
(You may pour these ingredients into a blender if you have one, and

rection of Debbie Overholt, visited
the Blue Water Rest Home and got
the residents involved with chil-
dren's action songs on a, one-to-one

is a small generation gap between
their ages and the advent of Sesame
Street, Sharon, Lois & Bram and all
the new singers on the block. Help-
er leaders were Julie Becker, Che-
ryl Lalonde, Mary Lou Masse and
Wendy Masse. The Brownies

Capsule Comments
with Ernie Miatello
New antibiotics come from some strange sources. A
new group currentty being studied is called the "ma-
gaining- and they were found in the skin of en African
frog.
Pepto-Bismol.... a stomach product that has been around for many
years, contains a salicylate... a chemical related to ASA. Some people
shouldn't take salicylate because it fr,teracts with some other medi-
cines. It also darkens your tongue and makes your stools black.
The peak age for poisonings is 18-22 months. The peak time of the day
that poisonings occur is Just before supper when the child may be hun-
gry and be less supervised. Ensure that all medications are out of the
reach of curious hands.
The average Nortf American drinks about 45 gallons of soft drinks per
year. But we drink only an average of 15 gallons of water per year. We
realty don't drink enough water. Six to eight glasses a day is ideal.
There are two rules for stress management: 1) don't sweat the small
