Another name game

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

Pick your top 5 names (first and middle) or each gender, and then go to www.behindthename.com and find names that have the same meaning. Pick a new top 5 based on these names!

Example:

Catherine [pure] Mary [sea of bitterness] becomes... Rosamund Miriam.

Mine are in the comments!

Comments

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

1. Anne [gracious] Louisa [warrior]: Milada Bellatrix
2. Elisabeth [God is my abundance] Rachel [lamb]: Tallula Agnes
3. Felicity [happy] Jane [Yahweh is gracious]: Laetitia Jean
4. Caroline Alice: Gabrielle Adelaide [note: Gabrielle means "strong man of God]
5. Martha [lady] Ellen [torch, light]: Sarah Helena

The only one of these I would consider using is Sarah Helena.

Boys:

1. John [Yahweh is gracious] Daniel [God is my Judge]: Milan Jephthah (YUCK)
2. James [supplanter] Augustus [great]: Jacob Dylan
3: Thomas [twin] Edward [rich guard]: Damian Seward
4. Robert [bright fame] Kenneth [handsome]: Roderick Keefe
5. Wyatt {brave] William [protector]: Howard Hammond

Some of these are truly awful. If I had to pick for boys, I'd say Jacob Dylan and Damian Seward.

The only ones I could find from my top 10:

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Blair Linda => Savannah Ingrid
Bradley Garrett => Ashley Roger

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

Some of my names I couldn't find meanings for, or at least not meanings that made any sense or that I could search for. So I'm just clicking "related names" on the side of the page instead and going from there, haha.

GIRLS
Eliza Adrienne >> Isabel Drina
Louisa Margaret >> Clovia Grete
Catherine Eleanor >> Reina Nelle
Harriet Emily >> Kendra Amelie
Stella Caroline >> Danica Annelien

BOYS
Elliot Michael >> Elijah Miles
Joel Carver >> ??
Calvin Peter >> Leopold Mason
Samuel Adrian >> Wyatt Arjan
Alexander William >> Alastair Wilson

I just searched by meaning, and picked a name I liked from the list, so the meaning may not be "dead-on".

My top 5 boy names:

1. Andrij [man] would become "Adam"
2. Vladimir [to rule with peace/to rule with greatness] would become "Chuck"
3. Myxajlo [who is like God?] would become "Leif"
4. Jurij [Farmer/earthworker] would become "Spyridon" (LOL, it was either that or George (I like the name George, but it's too 'common' for me...)
5. Nikita [unconquerable] would become "Anicetus" (Only name that came up.. lol)

My top 5 girl names:

1. Vera [faith] would become "Imani"
2. Alla [scarlet] would become "Scarlett"
3. Anastasija [resurrection] would become "Magdalene"
4. Dafna [laurel] would become "Laura"
5. Brunhilda [armour/protection/battle] would become "Griselda"

[crossingthesea.livejournal.com]

Love those top four girls' names (the originals).

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

i love Meliora and Arabella

[crossingthesea.livejournal.com]

Meliora is fun to say, so mellifluous, but you really have to concentrate.

Gosh, Ora Ayelet is SUCH an Israeli name, expect it would be Orit more than Ora. There are so many Israeli names that mean light.

Typo

[crossingthesea.livejournal.com]

Whoops.

Make that "except," instead of "expect."

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

I had to do some juggling because a couple of my boy names don't have "real" meanings and one of my favs for girls is the only name with that meaning (which is how i found it in the first place), but here it goes:

Girls

Rowen Alora ---------- Ruby Kelila
Verity Sage ---------- Alethea Maiara
Ianthe Isolde -------- Violet Orabella
Harper Jane ---------- Kotone Bellatrix
Morrow Annora -------- Asuka Onora

Boys
Rafferty Caine ------- Connor Gandalf
Lachlan Wilde -------- Eliot Everard
