Hi, we are waiting on the birth of a baby and are discussing names- always a sore point between my hubby and myself! I am very much into the meaning of a name and he could often care less.

Here's my question; the name we want to use for a boy means "gift" in Hebrew. I loved this idea at first, even considered making the name a little longer to translate to "mother's gift," but now I am rethinking it a bit; we are CC, baby is AA-- is it too much of a constant reminder that he would have been GIVEN to us or is it a) obvious enough anyway, b) he won't think about it, regardless.

Whattaya think?
Thanks!

Hey there!!! I am a huge name meaning person too! I like the meaning- after all, all children are gifts from God.

Samuel will always be my favorite boys name- not the name so much, but the meaning- asked of God.....

If you like the name and the meaning- go for it!

Hi... My husband and I are in the final stages of adopting our little "gift from God". His name is Nathan and he came to us at 6 1/2 months old with that name. He's 21 months old now. It's funny... I never would have picked that name myself but... it's perfect for him and I loved it instantly. He is truly a gift. I also believe in the meaning of a name and couldn't believe when I looked that one up in my name book... I cried. He's perfect. Good Luck with everything.

I think it's a beautiful meaning!

Good luck. Hope you and hubby can agree.
