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).

DS1 is Fame-bright Supplanter Dove, DS2 is Home-ruler God-is-gracious Farmer. And if I haven't outed myself enough already, I'm Pure (or possibly Goddess-of-the-Night, depending on which book you believe) God's-Promise.

Youthful Love Break of day
Gif the of the Lord Moonlight Ash tree
The fith born Maori name of unknown meaning Wise old friend
Christian one Tree bark Truth
Victorious peoples army Magic Noble bear man

Cant do DH as he has a name that has been in his family for generations and it's not on any lists so no idea what it means!(it's awful though and the reason he goes by his mn which means The stone/rock).

My name Type of tree sacred(and now extinct)bird Type of tree ... I can't put what though as it would just be my actual name that is very rare even in my own culture. I am know by my 1st mn as people have trouble pronouncing and spelling my 1st name.

Dd1 slender graceful (slender she is, graceful she is not!)

Dd2 rainbow (more like tornado!)

Jooni · 13/06/2016 11:21

AnnieBear do we share a DD?

Mine is "Queen of the Heavens, battle-mighty"

... sounds about right.

ElodieS · 13/06/2016 11:38

Haha, we're so unimaginative:

DT1: Latin form of Rose
DT2: Light

Me: Marshy white blossom
DH: Protector of mankind

DT3 is likely to be: bright and shining or wisdom
