Baby Names

[Neenie1]

Hi, I am looking for a good name for my baby. It has to have a meaning that I really like.

I have tried searching a few baby name sites, but most don't search by meaning.

Does anyone know of a good site that searches by meaning.

I am looking for both boy and girl names.

The meaning I would like to have is something like "God has answered" or "answered prayer" or something like that.

Or even "God gave me"

Here are some name ideas:

Girls:
Amaris - Promised by God
Annaliese - Consecrated to God
Liana - God has answered
Shanna - God's gracious gift

Boys:
Dominic - belonging to God
Jaden - God has heard
Jeremiah - sent by God
Samuel - God hears

 

[Neenie1]

THanks for those ideas.


I have been thinking about Anneliese

Jeremiah is out - that is my nephews name.

Samuel is nice too, but again, that's kinda out, because I have a friend whose son is Samuel (the same age as my first child - they also have a Daniel, which is my son's name LOL)

Boy names always seem harder to me. Either hubby & I don't agree or it's a name already taken by someone close to us. We do have a boy name picked out for the future - but I don't know what we'll do if we ever end up having more than one boy!

Well only God knows the answer to that one LOL


I tried to find out at the ultrasound (19 weeks) but they couldn't tell me, because they couldn't get a good view (if you know what I mean) so I guess for know it is a surprise, although going privately, with my own obstetrician, and he likes to do a few later on to determine the size of the baby, so around 34 weeks I should probably know.

I was lucky enough to find out i was having a boy at my 20 wk ultrasound, we named him a week later. It was kinda nice to call him by name the last half of the pregnancy. I know everyone doesnt WANT to find out, but i am one that is nosy!! lol

For the meaning you are going for, I'd go with Samuel or Hannah. You will get to tell your child the story of answered prayer and a lifelong connection. Reading Samuel's life, one can see how often he would stop back in his hometown...

On the same reasoning, you could go with Elizabeth and John... or Sarah and Isaac

I HAVE TO SHARE My dd's name with you.
It means 'God Jehova Has Answered" and it is beautiful.

It is Anaiah (An-eye-ah)

I'm jumping in a bit late, but I love the "el" names.... Most names with "El" (all of those with a with a Hebrew background) refer to the Lord. My fave is Ellis, a form of Elijah, which means the Lord is my God.

Depending on your tastes, I like Peter (Christ's disciple whom He calls a rock - hard headed but truly steadfast!), or John, His beloved friend. John means God is gracious. This will certainly be the middle name of our first son.

Less trad is a name like Javon (hard or soft J depending on where you live; I like soft) - means God will increase (form of Joseph).

Girls names, I love "M's" for some reason!!! Matana means graceful gift; Mary/Mara means wished for (but also bitter). Elizabeth (and all it's derivatives, of which there are many) means holy & sacred to God. Our daughter's name is Miranda, which means worthy of love. It also has a bunch of other meanings to us, with astronomical and literary connections which appeal to our loves as well.

My best baby name advice is to not talk about the names you love - by all means talk about the ones you don't care for, but I still haven't really gotten past my mother in law telling us (while still pregnant) that Miranda is the name of a soft drink (and wrinkling her nose at the same time! ). I tried to avoid talking names with others, only to be foiled again when I mentioned to a friend that I like "K" names for boys, only to have her say, "Oh, as long as it's not "K***" - I hate that name". I now no longer love that name, and I wish she'd never said it!!!

God bless!

O M GOODNESS! So I just looked up Levi (which is what we are naming our son) on behind the name thingy and evidently it is another name for the apostle Matthew in the NT. We have given Levi the middle name Thomas. Strangely enough my brother's name is Matthew Thomas. So weird.
