ArchivesRe: Name meaning
in reply to a message by Vicki Kielsmeier
"Of all the invented names, I think those which are coined from combining forms of existing names appear to be the least contrived, as they actually have a history which can be traced."
This was my immediate thought, too. Usually, the I-named-my-child-this-which-I-made-up-now-what-does-it-mean? posts really annoy me. But this name was made-up for, and already has special meaning in whom it's honoring.

Ditto! Eastlin is a coined name which makes some sense.
But for names like: "Jalesqwatissia", I always feel like saying: "Hey, lady! Do we look like mind-readers to you? YOU named the kid! YOU tell US what was in your head when you dreamed up that name!"
But, as you know, I'm way too polite for that. :)
