I looked at those two links but I had no luck finding the answers for those two questions.. Can someone please help me find the answers to the 4 questions?

Answer 1

I imagine that there are a lot more than three theories behind the Lindbergh kidnapping. The first is the accepted story that the baby was in fact kidnapped and killed and the killer was captured and brought to justice. There is a man who claims to be the Lindbergh baby and he says that he was raised apart from the family but that the family knew of his existence. Another theory is that someone in the family actually abducted the child and murdered him. There are others like suggesting a nanny was implicated.
The designer of the Golden Gate Bridge was an engineer by the name of Strauss I believe. He also designed the Lions Head Bridge in Vancouver.
Mickey's Original name was Steamboat Willie
My guess on the 1939 motion picture would be "Gone With the Wind" the first feature length color motion picture.

Answer 2

Too many theories to number!
2 is Joseph Strauss.
3 is Steamboat Willie.
4 could be Gone With the Wind or The Wizard of Oz

Answer 3

1) I was going to be called Julian David Jack, after my Uncles (Julian) and my both my Grandads (David and Jack). Personally, I don't like this name (though I don't mind the name Jack) and I don't think it would've suited me at all if I had been a boy. I personally think that the name William would've been a nice alternative for me if I'd been a boy. 2) Here are my Top three names for each gender, with their origins. The // splits up the first and middle name origins: - Isobel Mary = Scottish/Spanish/Hebrew // Hebrew - Susannah Daphne = Hebrew // Greek - Caroline Paula = French // Latin - Lucas Andrew = Latin/Greek // Greek - Zachary Thomas = Hebrew // Armaic - Benjamin Paul = Hebrew // Latin Overall the main origin for most of my names are Hebrew. A lot of these names are Biblical though. 3) When it comes to girl names I'd describe my naming style as feminine, traditional and classic with Biblical influences. All the boy names are Biblical but I also see them as traditional, classic, strong and masculine names. 4) The names I typed in per gender: Girls - Isobel, Susannah, Rebekah, Caroline, Alice and Madeleine Top 5 Suggested - Charlotte, Elizabeth, Grace, Adeline, Amelia and Abigail Least Favourite - Isabella. Whilst I love the name Isobel (and only this spelling too) I find Isabella too 'frilly'. Boys - Lucas, Zachary, Benjamin, Nathaniel, James and Joshua Top 5 Suggested - Matthew, Alexander, Noah, Ethan and Jacob Least Favourite - Jared or Zebedee. Not names that I'd personally go for. 5) Hmm... now this is going to take some time to remember. My 'childhood' dream family - 2 children, 1 boy/1 girl. Timmy John and Anneliese Peyton My 'current' dream family - 4 children, 2 boys/2 girls. Lucas Andrew, Benjamin Paul, Isobel Mary and Rebekah Eve. 6) I don't like seeing questions where the asker is a troll, or where people ask for your opinions on names and then get annoyed with you because you don't agree with them. Other than that I'm open to all questions being asked. This was a cool idea :) Victoria
