My name is Carole and it was a family name, as well as my middle name was my grandmother's.  When I had my daughter I named her after my best friend who died at the WTC. Her name is Chantal. Carole means song (just the French spelling of Carol) and Chantal means melody, so the melody came from the song, a little backward but at least their meanings are linked! I like that. In our family our names are almost all famiy names passed down but we all look up the meanings too.  I can't stand it when people make up names and don't research to see if it means anything. I once worked somewhere that caused me to meet a woman named Klamidia. Really, what was her mother thinking????

Well, my mom says she watch a movie with the name MERITT in it and she started playing with the initials until she got something she liked.  Then when I was born there was some Catholic rule that when you get Baptist you have to have a Catholic name or you will be given the name of Mary or Maria.  so my mom not liking the Mary name for me gave me my first name after a Vrigin in France and the one she liked as the middle name.  But everybody calls me by my Middle name.

As for my daughters the first one we just looked for name and like Stephanie and Nicole so we put them together.  for my 2nd one (5 years later) her sister (Steph) told us that we could name her whatever we wanted, but she was going to call Britney (because of Brtiney Spears) so thre was no other choice but name her like her sister wanted, and then we choose Chanel.

My name is Debra Adeline. I was named after an Aunt Adeline. I named my oldest daughter Michelle Adeline, and she named her oldest daughter Olivia Adeline. It's a good name to pass down.

I'm Japanese and my name is Jun (pronunce like June) which means pure (the way it's written in KANJI = chinese character).
Actually my big brother named me. I guess there was a relative (far far) who has the same name. She was born before me and for some reason my brother misunderstood that all girl's are "Jun" so he started calling me Jun even before I was born. There was another name my mom wanted to use as my name but since my brother was already callimg me Jun, they named me Jun. I hated it when I was little because it is tipicaly a boy name but now I really like it, even there is no meaning in it.

My name is Sandra Jill (which by the way, I have never thought flowed real well...but whatcha gonna do?). My mother says I was born with a full head of sandy brown hair and her best friend is Jill.  The story I was told was that Jill was taking her to the hospital and almost didn't make it...I was nearly born in Jill's car.  But that's okay, she's a beautiful woman, and if she would have been my first view of life I would have been blessed.   :thumbsup: great question!
