I appreciate your thinking and am completely agree with your point and also it is a universal truth that life of any living beings is Rakhi gifts .It is a belief in Hinduism that God is there in every human being.

My name is from “natal.” As in “neo-natal.” As in, “Translated to mean birth of Christ, but really just means babies shooting out of a hooha.”

Hot, right? My full name: Shooting-out-of-a-hooha Jehovah-has-been-gracious Ruler-of-a-county-in-Ireland.

I think it has a nice ring to it.

“Tyler” is another name for a stonemason or brickmason. That lady was full of shit.

I’m reminded of a scene from the movie Top Secret:

“My name is Hillary. It means ‘she whose breasts defy gravity. What is your name?”
“Nick.”
“Nick. What does it mean?”
“I don’t know, my dad thought of it while he was shaving.”

My dad’s parents not only named all of their children “K” names, but they all end with an “in”. Kevin, Karin, Kristin, Karolin, Karmin. Now THAT is dedication.

@moxierain: it’s funny you say that… almost everyone in my family was a “J” name — my immediate family, a few aunts and my maternal grandparents, mostly. Jamia, Jerry, Jewel, James, Jeryl Anne, Joy, Joelle… I don’t know if it was intentional. I can only assume it was from my grandparents side. And my cousin’s nickname is Angel. haha! Short for Angelique…

yea I hear that.

Someone once told my mom that they came up with the name Bianca. lol. That name appeared in a Shakespeare play, so there’s no way that it would have been made up by some people living in the present. But I hate it when people say they came up with a name, gimme a break.

But there seems to be some type of superiority among some parents, not all parents, when it comes to their childrens names. Like people who name all their kids with a similar letter, like Kim Kardashian and all her sisters names start with a K. That’s just cheesy.

Besides a name is just a name, to me its all about a person’s actions and that is what defines a persons character to me. Some people think that if they give their children a name with a religious meaning that it makes them special, like the name will define who they will become. Those people are just naive.

My dad’s name was Angel but he was a total asshat. So yea. Thx for letting me ramble, lol.

Hmm- I already knew that Julie meant “youthful"-but the translation on this site made me laugh. “Down-bearded youth” Break out the wax! Got some chin hair to get rid of!

My daughter’s name is Josephine-"He will enlarge"---sounds dirty doesn’t it? Another variation is “God will increase” -sounds better but increase what?

who came up with giving names meanings in the first place? a name is a name and i agree about some that have to tag it with a reference to religion. i really never gave much thought to someone maybe feeling they are less because there name is not in someway representative of a religion.

)

ps: my name means, “of a high status”…umm, i’m not quite there yet lol lol.
