Do name meanings play a part for you?

[Lily Dust]

I really really wanted the meaning to be important. Like I wanted it to mean miracle but at the end of the day I just didnt like those names and DD was named because we just loved her name

DH would only consider names that had an appropriate meaning. It was actually really annoying, lol.

My DD is Charlotte Claire.
Charlotte = little, womanly and Claire = bright

It didn't really play a part, but if it meant something horrible, then I probably wouldn't use it unless I LOVED the name...

For me, the meaning is the most important thing. I truly believe people grow up to be what their names mean. My name means "Yew tree" and DS's name means "from the Yew tree". My DD's name means "watch keeper" or "the guard tower", which I picked because I thought the protective quality suited the eldest.

That being said, I wouldn't call them something that sounded horrible just because I liked the meaning, so that's how I narrow it down.

Normally I would have said no but the name we had picked out for DS right up until he was 7 DOD ended up meaning something really horrible in the USA! So we changed it to what his middle name was going to be. At the time it was very stressful and totally weird considering we'd been referring to our baby boy by a certain name for over 4 years not just the whole time he was in my belly!

First name, not so much, although it's a lovely meaning - "Light of the sun"
Second name was pretty important to us. We had lots to choose from, but in the end we picked the one that means "a gift"

No, not for us!!!
I think it'ld be nice for your name to mean something lovely, but really will you go around telling people what it meant??? I wouldn't have a clue what Tiffany means??!
