    I thought a lot about the meanings of our kids names. They are meaningful to me, and I hope that one day they will be meaningful to them. That the meanings of their names will remind them of the things they remind me of.

    ETA: I should clarify, after reading Traveller's post that that's what I meant by 'meaningful'. The actual meanings by definition are, to me, less important than what the names/words mean to dh and I. Perhaps 'reasons' is a better description - 'we called you this because we want you to remember this'.
