HelpRe: Neaty!

It's so interesting, isn't it? The greatest naming-related day of my life was when I realised that Liston / Riston / Listone (all people I knew) derived from Livingstone.
I've not such about Emeless' meaning, though I would guess that it is actually Aimless spelled for Chichewa-speakers (E being ay). I haven't come across any Aimlesses, but there probably is a Chichewa/Chiyao name meaning aimless and I just don't know the word.
I think Loveness in particular is great. It's actually a GP of mine (like, serious GP. There's no way I'd use it), but only because I have met some great kids called Loveness. Lovemore is popular too.
Another good one is James - the Chichewa nickname is Muje (MOO-jay) - I think in the Bible James is Jemu (JAY-moo), so it's Jemu reversed. James = Muje.
I've spent a bit of time in Malawi - been there twice. I've just come back from three months in the south. :)
