Re: Questionnaire (edited title.. wasn't sposed to be in caps)
in reply to a message by Katie
1. Thinking of Arabeth/Aribeth today. Wondering what it would mean in Hebrew.
2. Absolutely ok to have themed mn's (Grace, Felicity, Mercy...)
3. Definitely ok to name after characters (Huck, Ishmael, Atticus...)
4. In 8 years?...2016...yeah, Shiloh will be alright.
5. My names come from a lot of...manipulating...I guess you could say. Finding a name that I feel honors certain people, but is still a name I like on its own required some time. Same with finding the themes that were important to me but still liked the names on their own.
6. I've had a name list since about 2002 I guess.
7. No, I don't write.
8. Least favorite name atm is anything with an apostrophe
9. Haleigh-Grace Maegan
10. I think MY pets should have people names. I don't care about anyone else's.
11. My oddest combo...hmm...i don't know. Most of them can be considered odd and not every combo I've asked about was something I liked...and I can't remember if I liked some of the bizarre combos.
12. I stick with most of them, just a lot of rearranging.
13. I want at least 2 kids. Right now I'm leaning towards 3-5. I don't know about a maximum.
14. I'd like to use Elizabeth as a mn, but can't because of a family member I don't like. I'm sure there are others, but I can't think right now. Why, oh why, am I teaching middle school & high school?
15. I like nature/word names in moderation. Mn's are ok. SOME fn's are ok. Just not all the fn's in a sibset.

While Aribeth isn't a Hebrew name, it is comprised of Hebraic elements.
Ari=lion
Beth=house (alternatively, Beth can be a short form of Elizabeth, which is an Anglicised form of the Hebrew Elisheva, a name meaning, 'G-d's oath'.)
