Tang - I think our ds have same name.

ds - laughter - yeah he has always have a good sense of humour
dd1 - grace and bringer of light - she is my gentle one, so I can see this might be her
dd2 - meaning is uncertain, but she was named after a woman in the bible who is a strong leader. She is.

Stoney clearing, and desire/protection/helmet.

Well, he likes clearing stones from their rightful place in the garden, and he certainly follows his own desires.....like most 2 year olds!

Dd1 brightness
Dd2 lady- although not showing any signs of living up to her name!

xalyssx · 19/06/2014 23:30

Name of God - garden of holly
And
Strong name of God - Angel

DDs means bright and shining

DSs means overthrower

Dd I'd very bright intellectually but somewhat lacking in self esteem so I think we need to work on the shining part .

Ds is a feisty boisterous little rebel I could definitely see him being a wee renegade Grin

Great
Exalted One
and the third one is named after a God from an ancient mythology.

Might explain their high opinions of themselves!

Noble and kind it's also apparently derived from the name of a Greek flower

No1 son - A crag or rock - sort of, he is bloody huge and very reliable :)
No2 son - the dark one - getting there, he was dark, went blond and is getting darker by the day - personality wise, he has the highest of highest and the lowest of lows :)

I don't know what the 2 dd's names mean - might have to look it up. DS means "faithful warrior".

TheScottishPlay · 20/06/2014 12:49

DS- Dark haired warrior. He has red hair but I can vouch for his warriorness.

Surf25 · 20/06/2014 14:14

jadzia I think one of my dds must share a name with your dd? can I be nosy and ask if your son is Theodore? We are expecting dc3 and I am wondering about this name...

MrsPatMustard · 22/06/2014 21:30

My son's name means "Mum got the casting vote and all the names Dad liked were wrong" Grin
