Names with meaning to you.

If my guy and I ever have kids, I'd like to name our boy Orion, after the constellation. The name holds a lot of meaning between my fiance and I through some past events and we both love the name.

However, the internet has made me jaded and afraid a lot of names are too "special-snowflake" ... do you think Orion (middle name would be Alexander) is a snowflake name? :C

What names mean a lot to you?

(Please don't lecture about "you should name them whatever makes you happy!" I just want to know what you think! XD)

I don't think it's a snowflake name! I like it a lot actually. It just has a nice sound, and the constellation is pretty neat.

The name Felix means a lot to me and my guy. I'm glad to see that it's gaining a little more popularity in the US actually, because it won't be so unusual and weirdly looked at when we use it.

The constellation is really recognizable, so it would be easy to teach a young kid which it is. In a perfect world, maybe that could get him into astronomy and he could wind up as an astronaut. LOL!

I like the name Felix a lot, but admittedly, it does bring to mind a Hispanic man or another boy with dark hair. Maybe I'm thinking of the cat. :P

That would be pretty neat. All little kids seem to want to be an astronaut at some point anyway!

It's super popular in Germany (I'm half German, my dude is fully German although neither of us were born there) and then... of course... the cat, haha.
