Do you or have you put any value in the meaning of a name when choosing one for your child?

How much does the meaning of a name matter when choosing your child's name? Would you ever use a name that doesn't have a great meaning? What is the meaning of your child's name? If you don't have any children, what is the meaning of the name that you are planning on using for your child?

Do you or have you put any value in the meaning of a name when choosing one for your child?
Yes. My husband and had tried for two years to get pregnant with much disappointment, after two years we finaly did. We named our son Matthew which means a gift from God.
Reply:I suppose it doesnt really matter.. i mean when you tell someone your name they dont ask "what does that mean" ... so no i guess it doesnt matter





Although it is nice to have a name that has a meaning to you, like my name means morning star, and my fiancee thinks it suits me cos i am a great morning person ;-)
Reply:We have value in my daughter's middle name. My husband's brother passed away very unexpectedly 5 years ago. They were very close. His name was Michael Lee. So, when we found out we were having a girl we combined to two to make Miklee. So far, it has been very well received.

Reply:I think that's personally up to you. When you choose a name for your child, if it has a special meaning or not, it is special because you chose it and you like it.
Reply:The meaning doesn't really matter to me at all.





If the name has got meaning, that's great. But, it's never been a part of my decision making process.
Reply:I dont really care what the meaning is but they usually turn out being good meanings when i look.

Glenn- Valley or A Secluded
Reply:The meaning didn't really matter to me when I was deciding names. But now that they are older I look at the meanings of my kids names and it fits them.
