Male Names
name description

A

A Bit Of A Lad:

 indicates a male that likes to live life in the fast lane and who therefore corresponds to all the clichés about young men (or males). Drinks too much, womanises too much, pursues a generally hedonistic life style. If you think these are desirable qualities in a dog, by all means give your male dog this name. The term is slightly derogatory but not wholly condemnatory.

A Hero Of Our Time;

 a short novel by nineteenth-century Russian novelist, Mikhail Lermontov. The hero is a dashing but flawed Byronic adventurer and the descriptions of the Caucasus are breath-taking and evocative.

Aaron:

Abdas:

Abdon:

Abel:

Able Seaman:

 a sailor in the British Navy with at least two years' experience at sea. Cf, "ordinary seaman", same sort of thing but a complete novice with no practical experience at sea. However, there is some sort of pun going on here under the surface and the name might suit a dog destined for stud work. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink! Know what I mean, squire?

Abraham:

Acepsimas:

Achilles:

Acyndin:

Adagio:

Adalbert:

Adalric:

Adam Bede:

Adam:

Adami:

 the surname of one of my best friends, who lives in Italy. Perhaps you could honour a really good friend by giving his/her name to a dog of your breeding. It might be advisable to ask the friend, just in case they might misunderstand and be offended. I asked a Greek friend of mine if I could use her first name as an official name for a puppy in my most recent litter and she was clearly insulted. Aren't some people odd?

Aiken Drum:

 the name of a Scottish nursery rhyme or song for children. "There was a man lived in the moon, lived in the moon, lived in the moon, There was a man lived in the moon and his name was Aiken Drum." is the first verse. Would suit a Scottish breed admirably.

Ajax:

Ajuture:

Alaric:

Alas Poor Yorick:

 the beginning of the famous cogitations on death by Hamlet in the homonymous Shakespearean play, where Hamlet contemplates the skull of the former court jester which has just been unearthed. Lugubrious ruminations indeed! Please note that "Yorick" has just one "r" in it. I have had a curly-coated retriever whose call name was Yorick and bred a curly puppy whose official pedigree name was "Yorick of Tonispada". I love the name.

Alfred:

Alfric:

Ali Baba:

 the protagonist of a very famous tale from the "One Thousand And One Nights" sequence. Am I not right in thinking that the "One Thousand And One Nights" has never been fully translated into English and that those stories that have been were rather translated from a French translation rather than directly from Arabic? Can anyone elucidate this affair, sad and frankly unacceptable if true? If ever there were an argument in favour of teaching modern languages properly and with commitment in Britain, this could be adduced in support of improvements. I knew a student at Trinity College, Oxford, who was studying Arabic when I was studying French at Keble in the 1970s. I wonder whatever happened to him..... that was in an age where a knowledge of Arabic was considerably less important than it would be nowadays.

Allegro Con Brio:

 an instruction from musical notation which is always given in eighteenth-century Italian. It means "in a lively, happy way" and might therefore be ideal for the optimistic owner of a lively dog (or vice versa). Note that this would apply only to a male: if you have a bitch she should be called "Allegra Con Brio" since Italian adjectives change according to the gender and number of the thing or person they describe.

Alpha:

Alphege:

Alphonse:

Alter Ego:

 Latin for "other self", someone with another or maybe even split personality or who changes character easily. Strictly speaking, this should be used only for male dogs, as the female form would be "altra ego".

Altman:

Alvar:

Amabilis:

Amadeus:

Amady/Amedy:

Amady:

Amand:

Amantius:

Amarand:

Amaranth:

Amarin:

Amaswinth:

Ambrose:

Amic:

Amico Mio:

 Italian for "My Friend", what better way to name a dog and show that you are not narrowly insular at the same time? Similarly "Mi Amigo" "Mein Freund" etc. The feminine form in Italian is "Amica Mia".

Ammian:

Amor:

Amore Mio:

 Italian for "my love". Since "amore" is masculine in Italian, this would be best suited to a male rather than a female. Itaian, the most beautiful, the sexiest language in the world.

Arcadius:

Archangel:

 the highest form of spiritual being below God. Literally "old messenger". Often shown in religious portaiture as having wings. Theoretically sexless, they are normally depicted as men. The names of some of them are known: Michael, Raphael and Gabriel for example. Another mentioned in scripture is Uriel.

Archduke:

 a nobleman above the level of duke in artistocratic hierarchy. The most famous archduke was probably Archduke Francis (or Franz) Ferdinand, whose assassination with his wife at Sarajevo in Austrian-occupied Sarajevo in 1914 precipitated the First World War. The female equivalent would be "archduchess".

Archibald:

Ardalion:

Ardan:

Arduin:

Argos:

Argymir:

Ariald:

Ariosto:

Arise Sir John (or any other name you care to choose):

 when the Queen knights a man, she dubs him on the shoulder and says these words, thereby conferring the title.

Aristarch:

Aristide:

Aristion:

Aristobulus:

Aristolubus:

Ariston:

Armageddon:

Armand:

Armentar:

Army Manoeuvres:

 perhaps a name which would appeal to an ex-soldier. Note the considerable difference in spelling between the British English spelling, which is identical to the French spelling (the word "manoeuvre" is from French), and the American English spelling "maneuvers".

Arnold:

Arnulph:

Arpeggio:

 a swirl of notes heard especially in Baroque music, reminiscent of what is quite common in music for the harp ("arpa" in Italian). There are lots of arpeggi (plural of "arpeggio") in the harpsichord solo in Bach's sublime fifth Brandenburg Concerto. Could be used for dog or bitch but the word in Italian is masculine.

Arrian:

Arsene:

Artald:

Artax:

Artaxerxes:

Artemas:

Artful Dodger:

 a character form Dickens's novel "Oliver Twist" and one of the most memorable of all those in Dickens's canon. He was the head of a group of boy pickpockets, organised by Fagin, another memorable creation of Dickens's rich imagination.

Arthurian Legend:

 those medieval poems (for the most part) based on the legendary life of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table go to make up Arthurian legend. They are particularly represented by poems in French, German and English. No-one knows whether an original king from those murky dark ages, when the Celts still populated what was to become England, really existed. In any case, the facts of his life could never correspond to what is recounted in Arthurian legend. There are many translations into intelligible modern English versions around (especially in the Penguin and Oxford University Classics series) so why not sample some? They repay reading. I had to study the Beroul fragment based on the life of Sir Tristan (or Tristram), one of the twelve knights of the Round Table, when at University. More recently, Mark Twain and John Steinbeck have also been stirred to write adventures that took place at King Arthur's court.

As Befits A King:

As Handsome Does:

As You Are He:

 the second line from the Beatles' best song ever, "I Am The Walrus".

Auson:

Auspic:

Austregisil:

Austremon:

Auxentius:

Auxian:

Auxibius:

Avak:

 Armenian for "great".

Avitus:

Avuncular Manner:

 from the Latin word for "uncle", i.e. "avunculus" (mother's brother - yes the Romans were far more precise than we are when it comes to differentiating between family relations). It refers to the general quality of tolerance, benevolence and even indulgence that an uncle has towards his nieces and nephews, as opposed to the often stricter attitude adopted by parents or grandparents.

Axel:

Aye Aye Captain:

 similar in meaning to the following two entries: especially used in the sixties television series which has acquired a cult following, Star Trek. Used especially by the characters Mr Spock, Scotty and Mr Sulu when formally acknowledging orders given by Captain Kirk.

Aye Aye Sir:

 similar to "Aye Aye Skipper".

Aye Aye Skipper:

 a pecularly nautical expression uttered by a subordinate to someone of superior rank and meaning "Yes sir". A skipper is the owner or master of a boat, the person who commands, whether the context is a military, naval one or whether the boat is privately owned.

Aymard:

Aymeric:

Azad:

 Armenian for "free".

Azadanes:

Azades:

Aztec Prince:

 perhaps best used for Mexican breeds - chihuahuas, xoloitzcuintli and so on.

B

Babylas:

Bacchus:

Bach Fugue:

 Johann Sebastian alone is a reason enough to be glad to be alive. He is among the few people who have touched my soul and transported me to another dimension through his sublime music. There are times when I could believe in heaven thanks to him.

Baggins:

Bagrat:

 Armenian and Georgian boy's name.

Balbinus:

Balderic:

Baldomer:

Baldred:

Baldwin:

Balrog:

Balthasar:

Bandersnatch:

 a fabulous creature invented by Lewis Carroll and mentioned fleetingly as "the frumious bandersnatch", the adjective implying that he is "furious" and "fuming". Elsewhere, the bandersnatch is described as quick-moving. We know no more that that.

Banjo Boy:

 I like the mental image of a dog with a banjo.

Banquo:

Barbasymas:

Barbatian:

Bardolino:

Barhadbesciabas:

Bari:

Baritone/Barytone:

Barkev:

 Armenian for "gift".

Barlaam:

Barn Conversion:

Barnaby Rudge:

 a less well-known novel by Charles Dickens. I have often found more enjoyable Dickens's less read novels than the really famous ones. I enjoyed this novel more than I expected.

Barnaby:

Baronial Hall:

 a large hall in a medieval building,often owned by a baron and used for banquets (also called "banqueting hall").

Barry Lyndon:

 a novel by William Thackeray, one of Britian's best 19th-century novelists, most famous for the masterpiece "Vanity Fair". "Barry Lyndon" is one of his lesser- known works and might still languish in obscurity were it not for the fact that the novel was turned into a film by that genius of the cinema, Stanley Kubrick. It stars Ryan O'Neill and Marisa Berenson. Despite that, it is a masterpiece of the Kubrickian canon. The musical soundtrack alone is worth watching the film for. Of course the greatest presence in the film is not any of the actors but the invisible stamp of Kubrick himself.

Barsanuph:

Bartholomew:

Barypsabas:

Bashful Basil:

Bashful Bernard:

 I just love the alliteration. In British English, the stress falls on the first syllable of the name Bernard, in American English, it is on the second.

Bashful Bertie:

 "Bertie" is short for "Albert" (usually) and this like the last entry, is a bit of fun. "Bashful" means "shy".

Basil:

Basilian:

Basiliscus:

Bassian:

Bates Motel:

 for horror movie buffs. Don't blame me if your dog turns out to be psycho if you give him a name like this!

Battering Ram:

 a large weapon of war, usually made of a stout log suspended on ropes which was used to shatter the doors or gates of medieval castles. If you have a dog that collides with everything or uses his head as a battering ram, then you might give this as his pedigree name. I suppose it could be used for a bitch too but it would not be very feminine. Indeed the word "ram" is the name given to a male sheep, one which has not been neutered. The female equivalent is "ewe".

Battle Cry:

 a cry or rallying call uttered by soldiers when going into battle. Also a slogan used by the protagonists of a certain cause, movement or belief.

Beach Boy:

Beano:

 apparently, this is another(abbreviated) form of "beanfeast", so please refer to this entry for an explanation of meaning of the word, which now sounds rather old-fashioned. "The Beano" is the name of a children's comic, first published in 1938, which incredibly is still being published weekly.

Beatle:

Beatus:

Bedazzled:

 a literary or poetic word for "dazzled".

Beeblebrox:

Beefeater:

Bel Amour:

 French for "great love", "wonderful love". It is masculine in gender so basically it ought to be used only for a male puppy.

Belisarius:

Bell-Bottoms:

Bellboy:

 see "Bellhop", of which it is a synonym.

Bellhop:

 a bellboy, a young man who at hotels carry guests' luggage to their rooms

Bello:

Belt And Braces:

 careful, prudent, not taking chances. A belt or a pair of braces (="suspenders" in American English, though in British English that means something entirely different) can be used to keep up your trousers (= "pants" in American English, though in British English that means something entirely different). However if you wear both belt and braces, you are really hedging your bets. Often used in the expression "a belt and braces policy", a policy of prudence and caution.

Belted Earl:

 up to the seventeenth century, an earl was invested by the soveriegn with a sword which was carried on a girdle at his waist, hence the expression, "belted earl". So it would be an aristocrat of ancient lineage, as opposed to those more recenty elevated to the peerage, mere upstart parvenus!

Benedict:

Benefactor:

 strictly speaking, a man who does good, who provides money or works for a good cause. The female equivalent is "benefactress".

Bengo:

Benign Mafioso:

 a contraduction in terms but I like a good paradox. Perhaps for an Italian breed. Can only be used for a male (female would be "Benign Mafiosa").

Benignus:

Benjamin:

Benno:

Benvenuto (feminine: Benvenuta):

 Italian for "welcome".

Beppe:

Berard:

Berencard:

Bernadin:

Bernard:

Berne:

Bernward:

Beronic:

Berthar:

Berthold:

Bertin:

Bertrand:

Bertulph:

Bessarion:

Bet My Bottom Euro:

 based on the oft-quoted expression "I('ll) bet my bottom dollar, which is usually American.

Betto:

Bibulous Visage:

Bicor:

Big And Strong:

 often used when exhorting children to eat foods which they may not actually enjoy. "If you eat up all your spinach, you'll grow up to be be and strong like Popeye."

Big Ben:

 strictly speaking, the bell in the clocktower of the Houses of Parliament. In common parlance however, it has come to mean the clocktower and clock as well. A number of explanations exist as to why "Ben" (Benjamin? Benedict?) was chosen.

Big Brother:

 a mindless programme on commercial television designed to distract the more undiscerning or tasteless elements in society and keep them happy and therefore quiet. Far more importantly, it is the name of the dictator of Oceania, to which what used to be the UK belongs (as Airstrip One)in the world-famous dystopian classic by George Orwell, "1984". The ability to keep a stifling check on society and thus to quell all forms of dissent against Big Brother's totalitarian regime is chilling indeed and one of the most disturbing (and best) books I have ever read. "The outlook is bleak" would be an understatement of life under Big Brother. In fact, his regime was based on that of the USSR imposed by Joseph Stalin in the first half of the twentieth century. Stalin himself has to be a contender for the title of most evil man in history, a psychopath with absolute power. I undertand some Russians and some Georgians consider him as a hero. At that rate, what hope is there for the human race?

Bigwig:

 the most important or influential person or people in a group or enterpise, a kingpin. Usually male.

Bijou Bleu:

 "blue jewel" in French, intended for a blue dog. In French it is masculine and so would best be given to a male dog.

Bilbo Baggins:

Bilbo:

Bill And Coo:

 exchanging intimacies of a more modest kind: kissing cuddling, hugging, whispering sweet nothings to the other person. The sort of intimacy which can be done in public without fear of prosecution (in enlightened countries at any rate). Named after the noises made by doves and pigeons during their courtship rituals. I have included the word under "Male names" only because "Bill", an affectionate form of "William" is a male name - e.g. Bill Clinton.

Bill Of Rights:

 A. the 1689 Bill of Rights in the United Kingdom sets out a number of rights of British people but most particularly, it circumscribes the powers of the monarch and thus sets a limit to the powers enjoyed by the crown in a constitutional monarchy. Never before had the monarch's powers been legally delineated and restricted in written form. OR: the first ten amendments to the American Constitution which set out the rights and duties of U.S. citizens. Perhaps the name "Bill" could be given as a pet or call name to a dog bearing this as its official pedigree name.

Bill Stickers:

 a humorous suggestion here. When people engage in putting up advertisements illegally in public places ("flyposting" in the UK: it has various names in the USA), they are called "bill stickers" (bill=poster). "Bill(y)" is a diminutive of the name "William". Therefore when local authorities put up warning signs in areas which are particularly prone to flyposting, they are often worded as follows "Bill stickers will be prosecuted". Witty writers of graffiti may append such comments as "Why am I being persecuted like this? Signed, William Stickers". Or "Why victimise Bill Stickers?" and so on.

Billy No Mates:

 in English slang, a "mate" is a friend, chum, pal. Billy No Mates is the nickname often given to a boy (if their is an equivalent for girls, I am unaware of it) who has no friends, who is a bit of a loner.

Bird And Bottle:

Biril:

Birthday Boy:

Black Beret:

 typical of the garb of French peasants, at least in the popular imagination. It is mostly older country-dwellers that still sport the beret (in my experience anyway). Would of course best suit a French breed and indeed a male dog.

Black Guardian:

 nice name for a guard dog.

Black Knight:

 in films set in medieval times, the black knight is always the baddy. I think they just get a bad press..

Black Mark:

Black Tie:

 formal men's attire, usually for evening events. Black tie consists basically of a black dinner jacket ("tuxedo" in American English), black trousers ("pants" in American English), a black tie, often a bow tie, and a white shirts, occasionally with ruffles.It also often includes a cummerbund (q.v.) or a waistcoat ("vest" in American English).

Blackguard:

 an old-fashioned or literary word for a villain, a "baddie", an unprincipled wretch, a reprobate, a scoundrel. Note that it is pronounced "blaggard". Sorry I do not have available the symbols of the Internation Phonetic Association to enable me to provide a more accurate pronunciation. The word is almost exclusively reserved for men.

Blackheath:

Blackjack:

Blaise:

Blind Man's Buff:

 a party game, especially for children, where one person is blindfolded and whose task is then to catch one of the other people in the room, who in turn have to avoid being caught in this way. When the catcher captures another person, he or she then assumes the blindfold and proceeds to capture someone else. It is much more fun to play than to explain.....

Blinlivet:

Blitmund:

Blood Brother:

Blue Peter:

 firstly the name of a flag consisting of a central white square surrounded by blue, or if you prefer, a white square surrounded by a blue square. It is flown when a vessel is about to leave port. More popularly however it refers to a magazine programme for children broadcast on BBC television from 1958 to the present day.

Blue-Eyed Boy:

 "mother's blue-eyed boy" is a way of saying that in a mother's eyes, her son is perfect, that mothers tend to idealise their sons. Best used for a breed that has blue eyes, collies, huskies, old English sheepdogs,etc.

Bluebeard:

Boatswain:

 the foreman of an unlicensed deck crew. Any the wiser? Suffice it to say that he occupied a position of practical importance on a ship. An old-fashioned expression that conjures up Britain's maritime history.

Bob's Your Uncle:

 used as an exclamation of satisfaction at a job well done and successfully concluded. Frequently used at the end of a series of instructions. For example:"To make great spaghetti you must use fresh spahetti, fresh tomatoes and spices for the sauce. You boil the pasta till it is al dente. You add the sauce to the pasta with some freshly grated parmesan. And Bob's your uncle." It basically means "and you're all set" or "and there you have it".

Bob-A-Job:

 the word "bob" was English slang for the now defunct shilling. Before the decimalisation of the British currency where 100 pence (or "p" in colloquial English) amount to one pound, the old pound was divided into twenty shillings, with the shilling being subdivided into twelve pence. The systemm was so complicated it is a wonder it survived so long but you know how much the English are wedded to ancient traditions even if their perceived adbantages are not obvious to anyone outside the country. Once a year, boy scouts, a voluntary youth organisation, founded about a hundred years ago, organised "bob-a-job week", where scouts, either singly or in small groups, would do a job for them around the house in exchange for a shilling (= five pence in modern currency). Where the money thus obtained went I cannot say as I was never a scout. I have included this word as masculine solely because "Bob" is the familiar shortened form of "Robert".

Bodagisil:

Boghos:

 believe it or not, this is the Armenian form of "Paul".

Bogumil:

Bombadil:

Bonaparte:

 the Gallicised surname (in its original Italian form "Buonaparte") of Napoleon I, emperor of the French.

Bonaventure:

Bonfilius:

Bonfilius:

Boniface:

 nothing to do with a handsome countenance, this word, borne by several saints and nine popes, basically means "doer of good", not to be confused with the more negative sounding "do-gooder", a favurite insult of the political right for anyone who has a modicum of compassion or humanity in them.

Castor:

 originally the name of one of the heavenly twins (whence the star sign Gemini). It derives from the Greek word for "beaver" and is also the French word for that animal. Furthermore it is the name of several Christian saints. (See also under "Pollux").

Castritian:

 an early Christian saint and bishop of Milan in the second century. Derived from the Latin word for "castrated", it dates from an era when total chastity was considered a virtue to be admired and advocated.

Castulus:

 Christian saint and martyr, third century. Chamberlain to the emperor Diocletian. A church in Prague also bears his name.

Castus:

 name of (at least) two Christian saints. The word is Latin for "chaste".

Catald:

 Christian saint from Ireland, companion of St Patrick. "Cathal" is used as a Christian name in Ireland and was Latinised to "Cataldus".

Caveat Emptor:

Cecil:

Celerin:

 Christian saint from Africa who lived in the third century. Based on the Latin word for "quick" or "fast": "a little quickie" might be a literal translation.

Celestine:

Celsus:

Celtic Bard:

Celtic Warrior:

Centre Forward:

Centre Left:

Centurion:

 a Roman soldier in charge of a "century" which in reality usually meant 83 men rather than a hundred.

Cerberus:

Cerbon:

Chad:

 a country in Africa but also the name of a prominent Anglo-Saxon saint whose life and works are recounted in the works of the father of English literature, Bede. The name itself is not of Anglo-Saxon but of British Celtic origin. It is a common name among Welsh princes in the seventh century and derives from a word for "battle". Up to you what sort of dog you give the name to.

Charalampias:

Charbel:

Chariton:

Charles:

Chaucer:

Cheeky Charlie:

Cheledon:

Chen:

 apparently Chinese for "great", so if you have a large Chinese breed or have a dog of Chinese origin which you think will be great one day, this is perhaps the name for him. I don't know whether in Chineses adjectives differ according to sex as they do in French and Italian so I don't know whether "chen" would suit a bitch.

Cherchez La Femme:

Chiaro E Tondo:

Chieftain:

Childeric:

Chimney Sweep:

Christopher:

 name of a Christian saint but he appears never to have existed. The name is still popular in Christian and post-Christian countries, meaning "bearer of Christ". Often popularly abbreviated to "Chris".

Chromat:

 St Chromatius was bishop of the Roman city of Aquileia, in North-Eastern Italy in the fourth and fifth centuries. Although relatively small now, the town was once much bigger and played a prominent role in the history of the Catholic church. Derives from the Greek word for "colour", so if you have a colourful dog (merle, tricolour, with patches), this may be the name for him.

Chrysanth:

Chrysogon:

 a Catholic saint, martyred at the beginning of the third century in Aquileia, north-eastern Italy. Patron saint of Zadar in Croatia.

Chrysostom:

Churchill:

Ciao Bello:

Cicero:

Cimabue:

Clan Chieftan:

Clarence:

 a name derived from the Irish county (and river) Clare. Possibly from the Latin word for "bright" or "clear". First used as a first name in the nineteenth century, it became popular for a while but now sounds hopelessly old-fashioned. Could still be used (like "Cecil", "Egbert" or "Mildred") as a mildly humorous name for a dog. Also the name of the lion in the American safari series "Daktari". Anyone still remember that?

Claude:

 while this name is very old-fashioned in English-speaking countries, it remains very popular in France, Italy and Spanish-speaking countries. Why it should be so out-dated in Britain and the USA is incomprehensible - maybe a name which is due for a revival in popularity. My hairdresser's name in Belgium is Claude so if he ever reads this glossary, "Salut, Claude!". The name could also be given to a dog as a call name; after all, it is short, cannot be abbreviated and is easy to spell.

Colman:

 the name of several saints of Irish origin. Nothing to do with mining (note the spelling!).

Columba:

 Irish saint who had a huge influence on the Church in the sixth century and beyond. The name is Latin for "dove", which of course has much symbolism in Christianity (the dove of peace, God the Holy Ghost). A man's name despite the fact that it ends in an "A".

 denoting something of great quality or intrinsic worth in the sphere of gastronomy. The French expression (literally translation: "blue cord/ribbon")is often used in English-speaking countries. For example: "He is a great cordon bleu chef." Best used for a blue dog.

Grim Reaper:

 while I am quite happy to encourage people to be different, I think if you give this name to your dog, you may be going a little too far. The grim reaper is the personification of death: it usually takes the form of a cloaked figure with a scythe (for reaping souls) on its shoulder and when it eventually reveals its head, it is a human skull, a death's head. It was used in a very funny sketch in Monty Python's "Meaning of Life", the sketch on death, where a dinner party ends with the collective death by food poisoning of the assembled company. Nonetheless I would urge you to think twice before giving this name to your dog. Mind you, you could be certain of finding very few, if any, others bearing the same name.

Lamplighter:

 when street-lighting was first introduced, in the nineteenth century, it was prodiced not of course by electricity, but gas. This had to be ignited by a lamplighter. I remember an old gas-fired lamp-post, long since defunct, in an alley-way in Oxford in the 1970s. Lamplighters were invariably men since they went about their business in the eveving and at night in small urban thoroughfares - no job for a lady in those days.

 a brilliant short story (shortish) by Voltaire satirising the foibles and arrogance of mankind. It involves two giants from outer space who visit earth and the interaction between them and their hosts. Voltaire is a writer of wit and genius who should be read much more oftern than he seems to be. His best known work is the classic "Candide". "Micromegas" derives from the words "tiny" and "huge" in Ancient Greek and "micro" and "mega" are frequently found even now as suffixes for neologisms in English.

Shiver My Timbers:

 an exclamation of surprise or annoyance, nowadays associated solely with pirates. The meaning is "May my ship fall to pieces". "To shiver" has a secondary meaning of falling or being reduced to pieces", though it is quite literary. It is associated above all with Robert Louis Stevenson's nineteenth-century adventure classic, "Treasure Island", where the chief character, the pirate Long John Silver, uses it. The expression was probably popularised through the performance by the actor, Robert Newton, in the 1951 film dramatisation of "Treasure Island", a memorable if debatably over-the-top performance.

Silas Marner:

Simple Simon:

 a nursery rhyme: "Simple Simon met a pieman going to the fair" For the rest of the rhyme, consult your favourite search engine. By the way be careful: "simple" originally meant and still means in certain instances "uncomplicated" or "easy". Unfortunately it also signifies "not very bright" or "a bit stupid", which is of course the meaning of the word in the nursery rhyme. In this day and age, it may seem to be a bit non-p.c. You have been warned.
