When we began having children, then we experienced the wonderful opportunity of picking out a name. There are lots of different reasons parents pick the names they do for their children. Some are family names passed on from generations, some are names from heroes or people of influence, some like the meaning, some just want something different. Whatever the reason, the name of your child is important to the parent and the child.
When we started down that road, we decided to pick original first names and then use family middle names.(except for the boy who is a Jr.) Not really paying particular attention to the meanings. But since, we have come to learn what each childs name means and how it is important. I encourage you to learn what your name means and each of those close to you. You will be suprised at how a name fits a person by personality, physical appearance and virtue. Tell your children what their name means and why you chose it. Here are our childrens names and meanings:
Maci Marie-Enlightened and Consoled
Morgan Leigh-Bright and Guided of God
Maddie Sue-Graceful and Prayerful
William Bradley-Protector,Noble, and Joyful
Mia Michelle-Devout and Godliness
I have been impressed to start speaking these meanings in each childs life so they can see the individualness of thier particular name. It's important that we each are confident of who we are and who our Creator is.
