'Successful', 'powerful', 'Rich', 'Handsome' ? Happily the days when people named their children "Traktor" and "Five-Year-Plan" are gone for good :)
Well the simplest approach would be to use the "search" function at the main page http://www.behindthename.com/, ticking "search for meaning"

I also am teaching several groups of chinese students who want good names. How do I explain to them that the name "Bobo" doesnt really have a meaning(much less a point)?
