I've always been one that's big on names and their meanings so I was wondering how many of you know what your names mean and does it fit you?

Jennifer is the welsh form of GUINEVERE.

GUINEVERE
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, Welsh Mythology
Pronounced: GWIN-e-veer [key]
Old French form of the Welsh name Gwenhwyfar, which is composed of the elements gwen meaning "fair, white" and hwyfar meaning "smooth". In Arthurian legend she is the beautiful wife of King Arthur. Her betrayal of her husband with Mordred prompted the battle of Camlann, which led to the deaths of both Mordred and Arthur. Later versions of the legends tell of her adulterous affair with Sir Lancelot.

And yes, I think it does describe me. I'm paler than a ghost and burn in any sun. Sign. The curse of a red head.

My parents picked my name because of its meaning. My name is Karen Michaele. It means pure, in the image of God. I want it to describe me, but probably fall short more often than I would like.

Incidentally, they were told that Karen was very close to my birth name. I wonder what it was...

Leah Mae-weary sea of bitterness.

I am not a bitter person, but I am certainly weary. I am weary of DH being gone, issues with his awful parents and weary of the issues we've had starting our family (although things are looking up!!!).
