Re: English Word Names of Scotland 2014
Praise, Fortune, Gracious, Goodwill, Miracle, Prayer, Precious etc are quite possibly kids from African families, who often like to give English names that reflect the meanings of African ones. No weirder than Theodore, when you think about it; in fact, thinking about it, it's strange that English-speakers so rarely give names that mean something in their own language, and generally prefer them to mean something in another language! Or be spelled wrong. Like Auttumme. ;(
