[name]Hi[/name] Everyone,
[name]Just[/name] thought it’d be fun to think about what your full name means:
eg. my name is Lilidh [name]Ailsa[/name] which means “lily island”!
Enjoy!
[name]Hi[/name] Everyone,
[name]Just[/name] thought it’d be fun to think about what your full name means:

Enjoy!
Lilidh [name]Ailsa[/name] is gorgeous
[name]Winifred[/name] [name]Alice[/name] [name]Clotilde[/name] (what were they thinking? [name]Clotilde[/name]? [name]Clotilde[/name]! My mother is still unrepentant, though) - fair skinned and peace, noble, famous battle; a fair-skinned, noble one who brings peace after a famous battle? I quite like that, actually.
My children :
[name]Ambrosia[/name] [name]Frances[/name] [name]Sofia[/name] - immortal, Frenchwoman, wisdom; an immortal, wise, Frenchwoman.
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Edmond[/name] - treasurer, gift of God, rich protector; rich protector and treasurer of the gift of God.
[name]Raphael[/name] [name]Cyrus[/name] [name]Peregrine[/name] - God has healed, young, traveller; God has healed the young traveller.
This is a brilliant idea - thank you!
My name is [name]Jessica[/name] [name]Michelle[/name]
[name]Jessica[/name] means the wealthy one and [name]Michelle[/name] means who is like God, so my name means:
the wealthy one, who is like God
Good question! =)
[name]Kristine[/name] [name]Amber[/name]
[name]Kristine[/name] means “a [name]Christian[/name]” and [name]Amber[/name] is just a word name…Ugh. I really do hate my name, even if I am a [name]Christian[/name]…
[name]Lyndsay[/name] Jenness - Hmm, [name]Isle[/name] of the [name]Linden[/name] Tree and something to do with being a poultry farmer. So, I’m a poultry farmer on an island with lots of linden trees. Wow. What a stupid meaning.
My [name]Son[/name]- [name]Dashiell[/name] [name]David[/name] [name]Rowe[/name] - Something like [name]Page[/name], [name]Beloved[/name], and little red head, river, or street. A beloved red-headed page on a street next to a river. I like it! Especially the “beloved little redhead” part.
My Mom- [name]Katherine[/name] [name]Ann[/name] - Pure [name]Grace[/name]. WOW! I never noticed that, how darn pretty!
My Husband- [name]Christopher[/name] [name]Richard[/name]- one who carries [name]Christ[/name] and dominant ruler. So, a dominant ruler who carries [name]Christ[/name]. Not bad.
This is fun, even though I have by far the worst name meaning in my family!
Surname means ‘of the [name]Cross[/name]’
Children’s names work magnificently with the surname
[name]Belle[/name] [name]Maree[/name] Beautiful [name]Mary[/name] of the [name]Cross[/name]
[name]Cruz[/name], [name]Cross[/name] Bearer of the [name]Cross[/name]
[name]Blaise[/name], [name]Light[/name] of the [name]Cross[/name]
[name]Sandra[/name]-Helper and defender of mankind
[name]Mae[/name]-I have seen several meanings for this name (bright flower, maiden, and as a diminutive of [name]Mary[/name] or [name]Margaret[/name] it means bitter or pearl) I will pick maiden so my name means “maiden who is a helper and defender of mankind”!
My daughter’s name-
[name]Liberty[/name]- free
[name]Grace[/name]- full of divine grace
So, "Child who is free and full of divine grace
My son’s name-
[name]Matthew[/name]- a gift of God
[name]Hayes[/name]- open
“An open gift of God”
Another son:
[name]David[/name]-beloved
[name]Jesse[/name]- wealthy
“Wealthy and beloved”
Another daughter:
[name]Destiny[/name]- fate
[name]Christanna[/name]- this is a combination of [name]Christ[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] (her great grandmother’s name) [name]Christ[/name] refers to [name]Jesus[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] is gracious
[name]Mae[/name]- maiden
so, “gracious maiden who fate is to be with [name]Christ[/name]” (She died soon after birth so the meaning is very appropriate)
Husband-[name]James[/name] [name]Leroy[/name]-
[name]James[/name]-supplanter
[name]Leroy[/name]-the king
“The king who replaces someone”
[name]Erica[/name] - Meaning: “eternal ruler”
[name]Nicole[/name] - Meaning: “people of victory”
The eternal ruler of victorious people? [name]Man[/name], I’m really not that cool
Hubby
[name]Daniel[/name] - Meaning: “God is my judge”
[name]Daryl[/name] - Meaning: “dear one, beloved”
I guess it means God loves him
Interesting topic.
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Lauren[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]:
Well it depends if you go by the a) ‘common’ and probably inaccurate belief of [name]Eleanor[/name]'s etymology or b) the current thinking of experts who aren’t really too sure.
a) light + laurel + pearl
or
b) noble/old northerner + laurel + pearl
I’m not sure that works
The rest of my family come off much better:
[name]Miranda[/name] [name]Helen[/name] (sis) = admirable/wonderful light
[name]Elaine[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] (mum) = pearl of light
[name]David[/name] [name]Edward[/name] = beloved and blessed guard
One reason I love my absolute (practically set in stone) boys combo is that [name]William[/name] [name]Rhys[/name] means “ardent and willing protector”
That was just a fluke of chance though.
Fun!

[name]Noble[/name] and bright counsel of wolves
That’s as far as i can go before we lose middle names and get a bunch of foreign names I can’t find meanings for. What an interesting game.
Me - [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] - my god is a vow victory…
Hub - [name]Edward[/name] [name]James[/name] - Wealth protector supplanter
Daughter - [name]Tabitha[/name] [name]Rachel[/name] - [name]Gazelle[/name] ewe!
Wow we really do have a lot of nonsense in our family names!
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] = pledged to god and man’s defender.
Hmm…
Um this looks interesting…
[name]Charlotte[/name]: [name]Free[/name] woman
[name]Amy[/name]: [name]Beloved[/name] friend
[name]Rose[/name]: [name]Rose[/name]; a flower
…No idea how to put that together!
[name]Rosa[/name]: a flower; rose; the color pink in some languages
[name]Iris[/name]: rainbow; messenger of the gods
[name]Rosa[/name] [name]Iris[/name] = flower messenger; rainbow flower; pink flower
[name]Paige[/name]: young child
[name]Elizabeth[/name]: pledged to God
So “a young child pledged to God”- I like it!
And I found the meaning for [name]Paige[/name] in a baby book I have (I’ve never been too fond of the “servant” meaning, especially since my sister’s name means “princess”).
My name means “exalted battlefield”. Uh, strong?
[name]Brooklyn[/name] [name]Paige[/name]: A page(servant) from a broken land.
ugh.

My name is [name]Nina[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Nina[/name] - precious child/female child
[name]Jane[/name] - god’s gracious gift
Meaning ‘the gift of a female child from god’ ?
Yikes… that’s a bit deep. Maybe just ‘precious gift’
