    I'm really searching for the meaning. Would the meaning be different? It means "He who supplants" Would it then mean "She who supplants"?

    ETA: i don't like the meaning..

    We had a similar problem with a name on our shortlist for DS2. Same meaning, weirdly, which I did not think was appropriate for us so we excluded it.

    ETA - I found 2 meanings. The first one is a derivative of Jacob which means supplanter. The name we liked, Jake, is also from Jacob so that's why the same meaning. The 2nd one is a German boy's name meaning dark haired.

    The meaning is kinda weird for you BAL, but I only know it as a girls name.

    Its both for us in this house, I think it depends on the middle name (if one is given) that would masculanise it or not (does that make sense??)

    Do you know how badly I wanted it to have a nice meaning.. Same as Tashybabe, it just doesn't feel appropriate. *Sigh.. I'm glad I have a while to decide.. Why are girls names so hard?

    Also Tashybabe Button's older brothers name is Jacob, so that would mean their names would mean the same?
