Reply:My personal opinion is that names do not have meanings, other than associations with teh person named that. You will get different meanings for the same name depending on what source you look at, and it is simply something someone at some point in time associated with a name.





My oldest daughter is Miranda. To me, that name means a sensitive, caring, considerate young lady who loves animals and art to name a few of the traits.





My son is named Randal, we call him Randy. To me, that name means an active, curious young man interested in anything with wheels.





The baby is named Gwendalyn, and to me that name means a sweet, cuddly baby learning to walk and talk. I associate a love for books and ducks with Gwendalyn as well.





The meanings of their names will change as they change, but will always be original to THEM-not what someone else says. While I know that some people consider what meaning others associate with a name when choosing one, I believe in choosing a name you like and letting the child give it a meaning of his/her own as they grow.
Reply:I actually find that alot of the baby name sites and baby name books have conflicting meanings for names.


For instance, a lot of websites say that the variations on the name mary mean bitter, where as a few say that the meaning has been lost over time, where as others say that mary and its variations mean something along the lines of 'mother'.





My names mirjam (miriam) and it is a hebrew form of mary, which is why i have researched that particular name so much.





I don't have children yet, so i can't give you their meanings, but my kids will probably be called:


Briar - thorny plant


Bran - raven in celtic


Cerese - Cherry Red in french


Mirabelle - wonderous beauty


Benjamin - young one

Sean - God is Gracious
