I got bored, so I made a list of my top baby names and found their meanings.


Liam - Unwavering protector (Irish) [use as a fn]
Charles (Charlie) - Strong (Old English) [use as a fn after my great-grandfather]
Michael - Who is like God (Hebrew) [I'd use as a mn after my brother]
Luke - Bringer of light (Latin) [first name]
Atticus - too many meanings, haha. [use as a mn after the TKAM character, who I absolutely love]
Noah - Comfort (Hebrew) [probably wouldn't use, but I love the name]
Ely - Warrior (Hebrew) [ditto]

Julianna (Jules) - Youthful (Latin) [first name]
Olivia (Liv) - Peace (Latin) [first name] I liked it before I started watching my favorite TV show - Law & Order: SVU - but I love the character Olivia, so I'd be lying if I said it wasn't at least a LITTLE because of her
Sarah - Princess (Hebrew) [probably wouldn't use]
Emily - Ambitious (Latin) [I love it, but it's too popular right now. Maybe when I have kids it won't be]
Amelia (Mia) - Beloved (Latin) [Probably wouldn't use, but I love the name, ESPECIALLY the nickname Mia]

Liam - Unwavering protector (Irish) [use as a fn]- Love
Charles (Charlie) - Strong (Old English) [use as a fn after my great-grandfather]Will probably use as a middle name as it's a family name. I like it a lot.
Michael - Who is like God (Hebrew) [I'd use as a mn after my brother]I don't really like it
Luke - Bringer of light (Latin) [first name] Prefer Lucas... i'd use Lucas & try not have it shortened to Luke
Atticus - too many meanings, haha. [use as a mn after the TKAM character, who I absolutely love] ahh tkamb! I dont tihnk i could use this though
Noah - Comfort (Hebrew) [probably wouldn't use, but I love the name] Love
Ely - Warrior (Hebrew) [ditto] dont really like...

Julianna (Jules) - Youthful (Latin) [first name]It's pretty, but i dont like Jules/Julie..etc
Olivia (Liv) - Peace (Latin) [first name] I liked it before I started watching my favorite TV show - Law & Order: SVU - but I love the character Olivia, so I'd be lying if I said it wasn't at least a LITTLE because of her I adore this name
Sarah - Princess (Hebrew) [probably wouldn't use] Really dislike, it's popular & rather boring
Emily - Ambitious (Latin) [I love it, but it's too popular right now. Maybe when I have kids it won't be] dont count on it, the top 10 havent really changed too much in years & emily's been hogging that number 1/2 spot for years!!!
Amelia (Mia) - Beloved (Latin) [Probably wouldn't use, but I love the name, ESPECIALLY the nickname Mia] Definetly my favourite name- i love it, it's tied for top place with Felicity. I'm just going to have to make sure i have two daughters!! I dont know if i prefer Mia or Lia as a nn.

my dd name is Amelia & my husband calls her 'Lia. the rest of my family calls her Mimi, ( a nn derived from my grandma's sister, my great aunt Mimi, whose full name was Amelia).

I'd never even thought of Lia as a nickname for Amelia...I love it :). Ahh, if I have a daughter and name her Amelia I'm going to have a hard time deciding between Lia and Mia.

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

thanks :) yeah, it's actually bc he doesn't really like her name all that much, but neither of us could commit to just naming her Leah (or Lia as the case may be.)

See, I LOVE the name Luke but I can't stand the name Lucas, so I'd go with Luke as the true fn.
