Do name meanings play a part for you?

Nope not at all, I always pick names I like then look at the meaning for a bit of fun but it's never changed my opinion of a name.

The only thing that has changed my mind is if I've known multiple people with a particular name and all those people are been nasty/annoying/etc.

I go with the name if I like it, but if it had a horrible meaning then it would probably turn me off it. DS and Dd2's names have meanings (and DD2 lives up to hers) but DD1's name doesn't have any meaning

For my next bub I have chosen a name with meaning although it was totally unintentional and it's a perfect meaning too.
That's a girls name.....

For my DS Hubby and I had his name picked long before he was due and agreed on the beginning to such a unique and made up name, it totally suits him too....

Looking for a boys name, that I like that means something will be hard, so we will probably just make up or pick another odd name

not really for us.

For me only if it's a negative meaning! I was considering the name Cameron, but it means "crooked nose"!! So that eliminated that off the list!

I choose by the sound of what I like and how it fits with the family names, but then would rule out something based on meaning after that.

I picked the names first and it wasnt until after they were born I found out what they mean

I still don't know the meaning of my kids names and they are 3 and 1.
