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).

OP posts:

DD is my father's joy fair haired hero.

All true.

Gardencentregroupie · 11/06/2016 04:26

DD - light, fair (she's probably going to be quite dark)

Me - warrior, rebellion

DH - exalted, who is like God

It's odd that all our first names seem to 'match' our middle names. It wasn't planned like that, at least DD wasn't. We just liked her first name and her middle name is for my DSis.

DS1 = Twin Supplanter

DS2 = Dove Meadow

Me = Messenger Jehovah-has-been-gracious

DS1 is Kind Little Deer Beloved
DS2 is Thunder Supplanter Little One

Although we could never had known when we named them, these names are scarily appropriate to their personalities.

DS True and bold

ShesElectric · 10/06/2016 23:43

The meaning of DD1's name is NOT why we chose it Grin. But at least it doesn't mean something awful like "Crooked Nose" (Cameron). Right put me off the name Cameron, that has.
