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)

My brother had a classmate named Sirius - his parents were astronomers. That was when Harry Potter started getting popular here, so he really got teased.

but you know what? I like the name. And Orion is really cool, too. I think that if your son knows why he was named Orion, he won't care even if he gets teased. At least his name will have a special meaning.

I know why I was named Stevie (my mom idolized Stevie Nicks), but I still don't like or even use my real name, haha.

I just hope he won't think our reason is too sappy for him. :)
