Does anyone else have names that they can never use/take seriously because of what the they mean in other languages?

ie. Isla It means island in Spanish. It's kind of a pretty name, but especially when I see it with a middle name, for instance, Isla Rachel or something, my brain goes, "Rachel Island, wtf?!"

I can't take Mira seriously, either. Mira Emily - You watch Emily. Kinda creepy actually. (Forgive me if I remembered incorrectly what that verb ending translates to. It's been almost ten years since I stopped taking Spanish classes. My biggest memory of leaning this verb though is watching a terrible 80's movie with a man sitting on a couch watching a turned off T.V. while a mechanical voice said "Mira la television," over and over again. Rest assured that someone is indeed watching Emily though.)

Also, unrelated to the rest of the post,



Aurelia May was born on 4-11! Thanks for giving me input on her name way back in September!

Actually no, I've never thought about that, but then again...I don't think the names I like translate into anything.

Aurelia May, that's a great name! And a beautiful baby too. Congrats!
