Yes, it means "No One", but they were both independent and resourceful people. They followed their own path, and for them, the name really means "Unique." Be resourceful, wiley, independent, and unique. We all have time to die. The hard part is the living without following the crowd. Also before you check out, check this out: The Joy of Not Working. www.thejoyofnotworking.com. It's a book for the retired, but the premise is that anyone can retire: don't wait until you're old. You're probably too smart and creative to be stuck in a job, so just quit working and start living.
