Your Name! What does it mean, who chose your name and how was it selected?

My name means a great leader. My father wanted me to be a leader, lol. my father selected my name. I don't believe that name has any effect what so ever on a personality. it's just the identity, nothing else.

ooh! I like this discussion! My name, Breanna, means "exalted or lofty" this means elevated in rank, status, style, character, dignity, etc! I'm not sure who named me O.o I've never asked my parents which one of them named me, it never crossed my mind! At least I hope my character is elevated! I try to be kidn to everyone, and be polite too.

i dont know exactly. among us four siblings in my family, im the only one who has two combnations on my first name. my other older siblings has one and biblical. mine, i dont think its biblical. i ask my parents about it before and they wanted it to be unique cause am going to be the last or going to be the youngest so they gave me that.

My name means cheerful. I think that's weird, because I often get accused of being anything but cheerful. Then again, when you take into consideration how I could be now considering my history, I suppose I am relatively cheerful. That's a lot to think about! I was actually named after a great-great-grandfather. I don't know much about him other than that he moved to the U.S. from Ireland, and I heard far more stories from my great-grandmother about her mother than her father, so I really don't have much of an idea what kind of guy he was. I have no idea why my parents chose that name. I find it's interesting that I was named after a male, but my name is now a common female name. My middle name means "gracious" and I don't know if that fits me either. But I'd like to think it does, or least that it is a goal to live up to. Perhaps cheerful should fall in that same category for me.

My name means 'a joyous song'. I am a fourth child and the forth girl. My parents named us all with the same initials. When it came time to name me they were hoping for a boy and I think had some boy names but a fourth girl with the same starting initial was becoming difficult. So they decided to name me after the youngest child of their best friends. I'm not sure about the personality part of the question. If you asked people who know me best I do not think they would say that my personality is like a joyous song.

My name means two things. The first part "Tara" means "Stars" and the second name "Chand" means "moon". Close friends call me by the shorter version of my name, "Taro" or "Star" in my mother tongue that is Sindhi. There are many people who are named only "Tara" (that's actually a feminine name, rare among males) or "Chand" which is common to both males and females. Though it symbolizes the crescent and the star, it is not an Islamic name, more of Hindu name, used by people in West and North India. Sindh, which is now in Pakistan was once a part of India and my parents migrated to the present India as refugees when the British partitioned the Indian peninsula on communal basis in 1947. My father named me, this was after a boss he admired greatly. A little after I was born, my father quit the job and started out on his own. I have done many things, even done a bit of modeling mostly as a hobby which have brought me good income, besides a main business, which was running an engineering design and manufacturing business-we made tailor made items for the metals industry mainly and process plants too. I closed that business 8 years ago and retired at the age of 40, and migrated to Bangalore, where I now manage financial portfolios, besides writing a columns for a few publications. As far as personality is concerned, well, I have been told that I do have a commanding one and people do get awed by me quite often.

My name (in RL) means reflector of light and it was the name of my great-grandmother's sister. After her brother was lost at sea in World War I, my great grandmother lost her mind and her sister raised her children. My mom named me for the woman who had raised her father.
