I was looking up the meaning of my name recently (Leah) and came across a baby names website which provides massive lists of names for boys and girls along with details of the names origin and the names meaning.
I learned that my name 'Leah' means that I (as Lea) am the Goddess of canoe makers!
Canoes....of all the things....
Anyway, I created this gag cartoon (below) to explain how it might have come to pass that I (as a Goddess) became responsible for canoe makers, as oppose to being a Goddess of war or peace or something a little more glamorous!
You may be able to tell that I didn't refer to any actual pictures of canoes to create this gag cartoon hence it looks more like a slice of melon, but you get the idea!
Why not look up your names meaning (via link above) and see if it has some unusual twist. Who knows if it is particularly bizarre I may cartoon it for you!
Let me know in the comments below what your name meaning is. I can't be the only Goddess on Searchwarp ;)

Oddly enough I have looked up my names. Kenneth (Handsome) Wayne (Wagon Maker). Oh well.Yesterdays wagon is todays car, not a bad result I'd say! ;)
My actual name is Shyam which is word to describe dark clouds. Krishna our divine incarnation was dark complexioned and hence was named Shyam. My pen name DM, is derived from the sufi word "Maktub" one who is intoxicated with wine. This wine intoxication is described equal to the intoxication of God's love, so a sufi who is drunk totally with God's love. :-)That's very interesting, thank you :)
