Neither of my names have actual meaning, per say, but both were Greek gods/goddesses. My name is Cynthia Denise ( ... )

My name? You can call me Ray, you can call me Jay, you can call me...

*slaps self*

"Dwayne" means "little dark one" or "the black one". Funny story: when I was working in a plastics factory, I had a co-worker named Dwight. "Dwight" means "little white one" or "the white one". Well, Dwight was black and I am white. One day we were talking:

Me: You know what "Dwight" means, right?
Dwight: Nope.
Me: The white one.
Dwight: *Chuckle* No shit.
Me: And "Dwayne" means the dark one.
Dwight: *Roars with laughter* That's too funny, man.
