What’s in a Name?

I’ve been tagged by One Crazy Chick. I struggled with what to do regarding this meme. I have enjoyed a certain anonymity all this time and I didn’t know whether or not I wanted to end that, so. . . here goes:

My "name" is: Black Belt Mama

Origin: Okinawan/American

Meaning: Mother of two with mad kata skillz (sort of).

My real name is: TOP SECRET CLASSIFIED as in: If I tell you, I’d then have to kill you ninja-style, and seeing as how I like you. . . well, you get the idea.

Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: Wealthy (how I wish that were true), or "God See’s." In literature, it was a name created by Shakespeare for a character in one of his great works.

But that’s not why my parents gave me my top secret name. My parents were somewhat a part of the long-haired hippy crowd back in 1975, and my name comes from a collection of songs by Seals and Crofts. If you figure it out, keep it to yourself. Remember, it’s TOP SECRET and revealing it means that your life may be in danger.
