Inspired by another thread.

Literally swapped the names (first and middle) for the meanings...

Dd - Pearl Nobility
DS - Crossing Lion

Me - Jewel Hope
Dh (no middle name) - Twin (even though he isnt).

DS- Crooked nose, gift of God. We knew the meaning before we named him but it didn't matter to us. His nose is far from crooked. It can also mean crooked hill.

Me- Little Champion, gift of God

DH- Gift of God, of the sea

We all share a name in its male/female form.

DS venerable strong
Me powerful free one
FH strong grand

AllezOops · 11/06/2016 21:18

DD - Star Grace
Me - Youthful Grace

Which sounds as though we have quite similar names, although we don't at all!

DS and DH's name meanings both sound like proper sentences, which is a bit odd:

DS - Happy who is like God
DH - Friend of horses he has heard

JamieVardysParty · 11/06/2016 14:38

We realised last year that DMum had named us all with the same meaning Grin

DSis: God is gracious, wanted child
Me: God is gracious, God is satisfaction
DBro: God is gracious, gentle, noble

I'm obviously the holy child.
