What Makes a Name?

So I know what you're thinking. What's so great about this Zander kid and why does he have a blog about himself that sounds awfully similar to--but is not in any way related to--the show "That's So Raven." What's so great about that Zander kid is that his name means that he is a truly prophetic god. I have been asked many times... "What's with the name?" To clarify for all, I used to be called by my slave name "Alex" due to my full named being Alexander Laszlo DeNador. In Hungarian, that would be crudely translated to Chandar Laszlo DeNador. With such an overabundance of the Alex race, I decided to take a more unique route and bear a name that has been reviewed as "Epic" "Sexy" "Oh, like in Buffy, right?" and so forth. You get the idea. The name is unique and awesome. And to clarify for some, Zander is in fact a valid nickname for Alexander. I hope when I tell people my name from now on that they don't aks "Zander's a real name?" You look like an idiot. Of course it's a name; It was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

But of course, let's expedite ourselves past the whole "getting to know eachother" phase and get to the point. My name is awesome. Alexander from Alexander the Great is now translated as "The Saviour of Mankind." Laszlo is a Hungarian name meaning "Gift of God." If you have any language knowledge at all--besides 'murkan--you would know that "De" means "of." Lastly, Nador is a common Hungarian name, but doesn't have a direct translation. Since there is a Nador label beer, I decided to say it means "Beer." Therefore, I am "The Saviour of Mankind, Gift of God of Beer." And without further ado, welcome welcome to That's So Zander... a blog that will probably be read by one person in its existence. Though there is no future in mind... I see great things. Impossible things. Wonderful things. That's so Zander!
