Grecychunny is just my username. Grecy is my nickname. My real name’s meaning is a lady version of Jonathan or joseph . as far as my memory serves me the meaning is assistant of God or lamb of God. Something like that, I better look at it now.

oh Princess... nice name ya.. Yes, I did look up the meaning of my name when I am 15 years old, and when I choose my baby girl's name, I did look up for the meaning too.. I think it's important for us to know what our name for, and that will also give us some motivation to it.

My real name is Sophia. It derived from Greek, Sofia which means wise. I like my name as it sounds posh (sophisticated). I do not have a child yet but I purchased a book with baby names by Bruce Lansky. It has thousands of baby names for girls and boys from around the world with its meanings.

Yes, I have. Mine means innocent lamb. Isn't that sweet? I was pretty niave when younger. Maybe that is what they mean. There is also a type of language that the name actaully comes from as well which I found interesting. The origins of words and what makes up the word or name is all very interesting.

I looked up my name and apparently it means Sea of Bitterness. How pleasant! Funny, since I can be a bit of a cynic sometimes and my family tends to criticize me for it. I should tell them about the meaning of my name, they'd probably get a good laugh from it!

I thought it would be fun too look up what my name meant after reading this. I had done it years ago, but forgotten...here's a couple of my findings.. For Elizabeth (my full first name) God is My Consecration, God is My Consecration, my God is an oath, House of Figs, House of god I was kind of intrigued by the House of figs one...LoL

I didn't look up the meaning of my name because my parents have already told it to me. It has a meaning of being the first and lovely daughter/princess, and yes I'm the eldest child in my family. This inspired me choose names for my soon to come baby, his/her name should have a good meaning, not only because it sounds nice.
