Technically my first name means "Eye of the Day" and my middle name technically means "fifth month" but is also similar to a word that means "illusion" but I'm guessing my mom didn't really factor any of that in. She just liked the names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-meaning-behind-your-name#post-143923 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:21:57 +0000 PBandBaseball 143923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom just liked my first name and my middle name was my paternal grandmother's middle name. None of us have really meaningful names. One of my sisters was named after a waitress at my mom's birthday party 6 months before she was born and I came up with my other sister's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-meaning-behind-your-name#post-143912 Tue, 01 May 2012 15:12:14 +0000 joyjoy 143912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My name is a combination of my mom's and grandmothers' names.

Jo is my aunt's middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-meaning-behind-your-name#post-143886 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:45:21 +0000 volksgirl64 143886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My paternal grandmother was adopted and they changed her name from Jacquelyn Rose to Barbara Elaine so my parents chose to name me Jacquelyn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-meaning-behind-your-name#post-143876 Tue, 01 May 2012 14:39:50 +0000 Mrsjets 143876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents were hippies even into the early 80s which is how I got Charity Lynn.

My middle name is Marie, other than it being a very common middle name, I think they just liked the flow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-meaning-behind-your-name#post-143783 Tue, 01 May 2012 13:42:34 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 143783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, originally my name was going to be Johnathon, but they found out I wasn't a boy after I was born, so my older sister and brother came up with Abigail (which means Father's joy) and Ashley (coincidentally also means "joy!").</p> <p>I'm a pretty happy person, so the meanings fit. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-meaning-behind-your-name#post-143759 Tue, 01 May 2012 13:33:37 +0000 GrapeCrush 143759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the story behind my name is pretty boring...my dad didn't like any of the names my mom picked out, so she needed to come up with another girls name...she heard the Fleetwood Mac song Sara and like the name. she added the 'H' because she liked the more old fashioned look. my middle name is Ann, which is my moms middle name, we also had the same initials(until i got married)<br /> my brothers names are much more "meaningful" names i guess you can say. one brother was named after both of our grandfathers and the other brother has the same name(just first and middle names reversed) as my dads brother who died during childbirth(and sadly my dads mom passed away as well) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-meaning-behind-your-name#post-141213 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 12:35:20 +0000 heffalump 141213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My English name is just something my mom liked.
