Have you ever looked up what your name means? If not you should definitely do so. In the meantime, here are the origins and meanings of several of the names of caracters in the Alice in Wonderland movie. While some of the names from the move are made-up (Seriously, when was the last time you actually met someone called "Tweedledee" or "Mallymkun?"), plenty of them aren't.
Something to think on: How well do the names and meanings match up to the characters' personalities?
