in reply to a message by Gianfranco E. Tubino Bryce
okey, folks, köszi(=thanks). I think you are very very confusing. but anyway, i think I should tell you that i found the whole name (jynx torquilla) in a book about birds and I choose it because i thought it's a existing name (according to the movie (j.b.)), so i use it since c 2000. Last question: can anyone (especially anglo-saxons) give the name to a baby? i dont mean in america, cuz you can even give the 'name' chair to the kid.. poor child. gianfranco, we (me and my friend rebeka) just love your name, what does it mean.

My name
If it comes from a scientific book then the "lynx" theory makes no sense at all... It's just the "wryneck"... Gianfranco means "God [to be/to become/less likely; shine, sky, lord] is gracious" or "God's gift" + "free, sincere, freeman, frenchman (frank)" all these in the sense of "spear" (franks were distinguished by certain kind of special spear after which they where named)... So my personal interpretation is "the grace/gift of the freeing spear" but you may look for it in the database.

No . . .
No-one in an English-speaking country (England, Australia, America, Canada, et al) would give Jinx / Jynx as a name to a child, unless they were a truly cruel parent (and those do exist! Lol).
Don't worry, you're not the only one who finds Gianfranco confusing! He'll no doubt answer you anyway, but Gianfranco is a contraction of Giovanni and Francesco - Italian forms of John and Francis. follow the hyperlinks for details on the meanings of those names :-)
Where are you from? (& sorry if you said it before and I missed it!) I'm Australian.

My mistake
I interpreted from what was said that the foundations lied in the lying Hollywood productions... Now I admit my mistake... Jinx for a child? you never meant that? didn't you? Think of phonetics first and of meanings afterwards...

night and fire are quite okay, but think about it: when the celts spoke celt, i think they give name just like that. i mean they give the name xy and that meant xy. by the way in hungary there are name like these: napsugár(f)=sunshine, pintyõke(f) = little finch [you know, the bird] and stuff like that.
bye, and thanx guys!!! :D

In Spanish the same happens but not very often... There is the name "Rosa", "Margarita", "Perla", "Esmeralda", "Rocio", etc. (Rose, "Sunflower" I think is the English word for "Margarita", Pearl, Emerald, Dew)... It happens in most languages that's the explanation behind all names and surnames having meanings in one way or another. And thanks for the "cool" comment back then... Bye and have a good time.

Althought you say we should finish just something extra
First and least, I do not live in Spain, my sister does and she tells me it's cold there, really cold to our standards, both me and here are Peruvian, here we are entering summer and it's getting hotter but the average is "mild with unpredictable undesirable extremes, cold shadows but suffocatingly hot light-zones"... Felicidad is not a common name but it does means that, then there is the uncommon surname "Alegre" or "Alegría" which means "happy" and "Happiness" respectively... And as name there are; Alicia (Spanish form of Hebrew "Aliza" which means "joy" or of the German "Adalheidis" which means "noble kind/sort/type"), Leticia (Spanish form of late latin "Laetitia" which means "joy, happiness"), Nanda (It's and Indian name but at least here in Peru similiar names are easily adopted, phonetically it matches Spanish surnames), Winston (Ok, it's English and means "Joy Stone" but here in Peru it has arrived as a name for there is certain tendency of pretending that through alienation a superior status would be achieved, at least nominally, ironically those who use this names with that in mind use alternate spellings out of ignorance such as "Jhon" or "Yon" for "John" and names like "Esmiders" pretending to be the surname "Smithers" can be seen, in this way they reveal themselves as both ignorant and alienated, the first thing which is totally comprehensible and no reason for segregation, but the second, it's a lack of pride for what is one's own that does deserves some reaction; on the other hand those who they pretend to equal with such names tend to use Spanish names mostly, unless they have a non-Spanish surname and/or non-Spanish bloodline), Abigail ("my father is joy" is an uncommon name but can be seen with a non-English pronunciation which I would represent as; "Ah-bi-Gah-eel"), Fortunato ("fortunate" in Italian and/or Latin), Felix (popularity might have gone down due to "Felix the cat"), etc.
