Melissa Rene - they don't have a meaning together, but Melissa is Greek and means "honeybee" (and was the name of a Greek handmaiden of Zeus who was transformed first into an earthworm by an angry Cronus, and then into a queen honeybee by Zeus) and Rene is the French form of Renatus, which means "born again" or "resurrected." I won't forgive my parents for spelling it the masculine way, though.

Caitlin Monique (my sister) - Caitlin is Irish and means "pure," and Monique is the French form of Monica, which no one knows what it means (there's a guess of "advisor"). Monique is my mother's first name.

Matthew Charles (my brother) - Matthew is Hebrew and means "gift of Yahweh," and Charles is English and means "manly." Charles is my father's first name.

My mother's middle name is Simone (French feminine form of Simon, which means "he has heard") and my father's is Henry (English, it means "home ruler").

My partner's name is Ron Antione (the middle pronounced "Antoine") which can be made into a sentence -- "trustworthy advisor to the king." Ron also means "song, joy" in Hebrew, apparently.
