If you discovered the name you like means something grim...

[LaTristesse]

...would you still use it?

I couldn't do it. It was very important to me that my children had names with lovely meanings. Mind you, until I started looking at baby name books, I had no idea what half of them meant, so my DDs probably won't care a jot.

Dexie yes I have an Adam and a Ben (adults now so probably a bit dated)
