Then what is the meaning of your DC and family members names, if you combine your first and middle names?

By the power of google I have this very evening discovered:

DC1 - 'Living pearl'
DC2 - 'Woman. Who is hale, hearty, sound and wide'
DH - 'Farmer, who is like god'
Mine is - 'Gracious favour. The companion, friend and vision of beauty' (obv) Grin

Beautiful / Gazelle, Fossil

DD - my father’s joy, bright shining one.

Me - listener

Both quite unintentional (as I’m sure most people’s are) as I’m deaf and DD was conceived by donor sperm!

DontCallMeBaby · 08/05/2019 20:08

I am: God is both gracious and abundant (I have a very Christian set of names for a third generation atheist)
DH is a warlike defender of mankind.
DD is a tree born at Christmas (names are the wrong way round, but it makes more sense that way round)

DD: follower of Christ, pearl
Me: fair, pearl ( yes I know but our middle names have meaning for both sides of the family)
DP: powerful leader, who is like God, garden of holly (wow wait till he hears that one. He's always hated that name anyway), from South Munster!!!
