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 - belonging to the Lord
DD - truth

Momtothree · 11/06/2016 00:42

Lots related to god! I think all three of mine are as well

TwigTheWonderKid · 11/06/2016 00:48

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.

DD1 - Treeless plain, God's able bodied one, Adventurous bold journey

DD2 - God beholds, Gracious gift from God, Rock

DD3 - Blond haired, Yielding to prayer, Great queen

Fun game!

Wished for child (not true completely unplanned Grin)

Packergator · 11/06/2016 03:39

Red-headed supplanter Shock

(He is neither of those things Wink)

MangoMoon · 11/06/2016 03:48

DS1 = Twin Supplanter

DS2 = Dove Meadow

Me = Messenger Jehovah-has-been-gracious

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.

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 11/06/2016 04:43

DD is my father's joy fair haired hero.

All true.

dizzyfucker · 11/06/2016 04:53

We would be

Gift from god defender of men (catchy),

pure promise from god,
graceful gift from god,
bright desire,
Wealthy twin
Wealthy Shining (father and son have same first name)
God is with us, carrier of christ (another catchy one).

dizzyfucker · 11/06/2016 05:00

Did SIL's kids as they are here on a sleepover and much cooler than ours

Magic Stone
Priceless Sea of sorrow
May Jehova increase Wealth.

Wintersummerwintersummer · 11/06/2016 05:22

Beautiful loving grace.

There's nothing graceful about her as she's a proper tomboy. She is very pretty though (dunno how that happened- not my genes!) and definitely loving. X
