[Opinions] Re: Here's another site claiming it came from Riagan
in reply to a message by Kit
One thing you have to remember is the fact that these other sites are BABY name sites. This one isn't- sure, we have expectant parents come here, but first and foremost it's an etymology site. Baby name sites are going to tell people every name has a meaning because people want that for their kids; no one really wants to hear, "We don't know what this name means, but it *might* have something to do with X, which is a similar name, but not the one you're lookin' for. Sorry!" That is why all these sites run with the meaning of similar sounding names (Ryan, Regina) and NOT with the name in question. Am I making any sense?

Brilliant!
I think you hit the nail on the head with this one.

Exactly!
Also, there are very few sources of information that people ultimately use. Most sites just use the incorrect info from other incorrect sites or books.

Yup, it makes sense.
