Does Anyone "Own" #Hubbard? (related to #Hubert) | @Microsoft @OurBabyNamer @NameTests_com @Ecosia @TheBizJournal @OhioHistory

hmm: the coat-of-arms below (nevermind 'who owns the name' for a minute) says the name means "Love, |Purity, |Courage of an Old- & Respected |Lineage, and a |Reputation of Wisdom" (but don't the Facebook "personality analysis programs" say that about every profile?)

And a Bing search (before they figured out that I was talking about the surname 'Hubbard'), led me to a site that told me the first-name 'Hubbard' means Graceful.

 What does the name itself indicate?

The name “Hubbard” is related to “Hubert,” built on ancient words that mean " |Bright Heart/Mind."

Before I 're-search' the current "ownership" of Hubbard, I'll start with 'what I think I know': ... (and I sit here blankly staring at the screen until I remember how to think stuff) ...

Nothing anyone says about 'Hubbard' applies to anyone reading this unless their speech is accompanied by 'a first- (and maybe middle-) name and all the needed identifications (in case--as with a fellow-student at my high-school decades ago--the names are so similar that you need more info to tell us apart'

---e.g. I am Hubbard; but my Mother has not necessarily gone "to the cupboard" (interesting how 'Hubbard' & 'cupboard' rhyme), nor does she own a bar-franchise in Ireland; neither am I in a huge conflict with the Psychiatric Industry. 

And--even if someone does own 'the rights to that name'--neither I nor any other 'Hubbard's need to change their name, nor do I need to stop mentioning it!

No, the most-valuable form of 'name-ownership' I'm thinking-of is "who/what you think of when you hear that name"---I think most people (certainly people who ever liked nursery-rhymes when they were children) think of Old Mother Hubbard.

And then (with their worldwide publications & the celebrities involved (those still in the Church of Scientology & those rebelling against it), there's the writer (of Dianetics & -of the textbooks of Scientology) L. Ron Hubbard.

My mother actually went to Mother Hubbard's pub in Ireland ... so there's that ...

The top result I got on my 're-search' led me to a story about a Music-store named after the town it's in---Hubbard, Ohio, named for Nehemiah Hubbard (its first owner after English colonization).
