Unblocking

Please, Khukri, I beg you to not block me indefinitely. As far as I know, I made no vandalism imbetween my final warning and my eventual indefinite block. So please rethink this. I would not like now to make any more joke pages or misbehave and only wish to work in my user: namespace. I don't think it is your business what I do there and so please allow me back. Blocking indefinitely will not make me repent and I implore you once more not to make hasty decisions and I am very sorry. --ELLIOT PRIOR (talk) 08:12, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maynard can refer to:

Name

It is a surname (and, on occasion, forename) used across the English-speaking world.[1] which comes from a Germanic root meaning 'strength hardy'.[1] Its evolution was from the original roots to various versions once used around Germanic areas. They include Meginhard, Mainhart, Meginrad and Meinrad[2] Alternative spellings of the Anglic version are Mainard, Maynhard[3], Maignard and Maynerd[4] Its area of origin was the West Country of England.[1] In non-Germanic places, variant forms are French Menard and Italian Mainardi, Menardi and Menarde[5]. In the United States, it is most commonly found on the South-Eastern fringes of the Midwest in Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia[6]. The popularity of the name then spreads outwards, becoming less dense when it reaches Wisconsin, Missouri and Alabama. Anomalies are Texas and Florida where there are higher populations.[6]
