My offline name is James, which comes comes from the Hebrew word 'supplant', or 'replace'. I'm not sure if the original meaning survived translation through Greek, Latin, and English. When i was younger i usually went by the informal 'Jim'. When I heard James! it usually meant that I was in trouble :P

I'll explain "Peachey", as it is actually a real surname and not a nickname (which many people assume). Variations include <em>Peachy</em> and the Irish variant <em>Pechey</em>.

There are a few theories, but the general agreement is that the name is probably not about a peach (despite what some cheap genealogical sites claim)! As with some surnames, it could come from a place (<em>Pacy-sur-Eure</em>, France) or an adapted name (<em>Büchi</em>, a German surname, which I think means fortifications?). It could also come from an occupation (<em>pêcheur</em> is the French word for "fisherman"). In my case, I haven't looked far back enough to make any connection, so to be honest it could be any of them.

One traceable origin for the name is Guilliame Pecche, a landholder who lived in England in the late 11th century and was often recorded by his Anglicised name, William Peccatum. <em>Peccatum</em> was a surname that was adopted for religious reasons, and means "sin" in Latin. The modern French word for sin is <em>péché</em>.
