What's in a name?

I've seen what my name means but don't remember. Regardless, I don't think it would say anything about who I am.

At least with some of the names they make up nowadays there would be no meaning.

I was named after my paternal grand mother You know what Grace means (lol)

I used to know what my first name means but not anymore.

Yes I do know.

My first name (Darrin) means that my mother was addicted to an American TV show called "Bewitched". Aside from that it is supposed to mean 'great' or 'gift'.

My first name was taken from the name of the month.

My first name is Anna and I know that it means "grace" or "beautiful". My father decided for my name.

My first name Rasma is a typical Latvian name and it means morning dew.

My name means a sheep. I was also born in the Chinese year of the sheep and I come from a country with lots of sheep.

A lot of people used to take all of this name-giving more seriously. When I had my bookshop, dictionaries of names and their meanings were good sellers. All names have beginnings, of course, as do all things, but often or not, these names, these days, do not match the named anymore, as the parents have named the child, usually derived from some other relative for the middle name, and for the first name, some type of unique name that they think makes their child unique. It is often better to have a name that carries the strength of its origins though rather than one that has to stand on its new feet, so to speak, and so the named person's life becomes harder for them often then too. The name should match the person, the person shouldn't have to match their name.

Ohh I don’t know really, later I’ll ask my parents where did they get my name :)

That's cool. My name means 'Lady'.
