[Opinions] Re: Etymology Post- your opinion on name meanings
I feel about the same way you do. I don't prefer a name or dislike it solely because of meaning.
With a few exceptions, but those exceptions also *seem* notorious to me (it's not only the literal meaning that I dislike). Ex. DesdemonaI took your polls, and chose the kinds of meanings I am most pleased to find attached to my favorites (but I don't give any preference to names that have these meanings):beauty, pleasant, bright, charming, strong, brave.
virtues (not all of them though), mercy, love, loved/wanted, heart, gift, blessing, truth, liberty, faith, wisdom, miracle, gift; religious meanings that make any sense to me.
The Sun.I like botanical names, but they're not as gratifying to me as meanings that are more abstract.
I think maybe you left out occupation names - since there are a lot of surnames transferred to first name use. I might have just overlooked it since I was choosing ones I like, though. I don't remember seeing liberty/free among the choices either.- mirfak
