oh wow! what a lovely question. letās seeā¦
iād rename my mother, wisdom luna
because she already has a virtue name, and one that fits her very well, i wouldnāt change that aspect of her name. wisdom is one iāve always really loved. itās a saint name, and while my mother isnāt very religious, i love saint wisdomās story and itās always reminded me of my mom. luna is a part of the name of her reiki business. she has always been very drawn to the moon. iād also consider wisdom margaret and wisdom lillian, for her love of vintage names.
iād rename my father, shepherd heath
my dadās real name is a lovely classic name, and while that fits him, i love the idea of him as a shepherd, because he has such a protective and caring nature. heath was the name my grandmother loved for him. she decide to go with the more ānormalā christopher, but i think heath really wouldāve suited him. the whole combo sort of has a cowboy vibe, imo, and thatās a lifestyle my dad has always really embraced.
iād rename my little brother, evander gray
gray was easy. itās the name my parents almost gave him. while i feel itād be a bit too soft in the front for him, it makes a perfect middle. evander is for the meaning āgood manā. something heās really grown to become over this past year, as heās turned fourteen. evander also has the name āevanā in it, a form of john. my brotherās real name is a surname that comes from the given name john.
for myself, iād opt for tallulah bee ātulaā
tallulah ends in āhā, just like my name. iāve always thought that gave such a feminine, airy feel. itās meaning, āleaping waterā honors where i was born, near the mississippi river. itās also a saint, which is important to me. bee honors my grandmother, whoās name is deborah. i feel like as a little kid i wouldāve gone by tully, but iāve definitely grown into a name like ātulaā, meaning āmountain peakā.
wisdom and shep, with tula and evander
