How many of you consider the meaning when selecting names?
This is very important to me and my OH. We named our daughter Eva after falling in love with the name after watching Wallie. We then learnt it meant life in Hebrew and we loved it, it was the only girls name we had.
So now I'm up duff again and we have selected a boys name. It will be Harry (Henry on BC) as tribute to important family members.
For the girl we like Zoe, it also means life in Greek. Having experienced sibling rivalry and think it's nice to choose a name with the same meaning. We do really like Zoe!
What are your thoughts? Also whilst you're at it do you prefer Zoe or Cerys? Cerys means love and I'm welsh so like that too but OH not sure. He says she'll just get called Kerry. Oops tangent!
So thoughts on the meaning? Should it be a deciding factor?
