Seriously, though, James is a variation of Jacob, which is the Hebrew word for "supplanter." Figuratively, a liar. That ends up being true more than I want, but not nearly enough to be descriptive of me. As for Earl, it's originally from the Old English eorl, a warrior or nobleman. While it's interesting, considering my family was once Irish nobility in what is now County Cork, and I joined the Army to boot...the main significance for me is that it's my dad's and my grandfather's middle name as well.

It be funny if we ended up sharing some common ancestor along the way.
