![]() We have a new boy, to be born in early March. When discussing names, my wife and I went through baby names books and websites, just like many people. It was neat to learn what different names mean, but I couldn't find any information resource which would give you possible names based on meanings. In other words, I could find out that Sarah means "princess", but if I knew I wanted to name my kid a name which means "princess", how would I go about finding a list of possible names for that meaning? For the record, I am looking for a boy name which is biblical or derived from a bible name, and which means something along the lines of "abundant", "fulfilled", or "overflowing". |

I can't help you, but just couldn't resist replying. I think your choices of
meanings are all wonderful and very appropriate ![]() For the record, I am looking for a boy name which is biblical or derived from a bible name, and which means something along the lines of "abundant", "fulfilled", or "overflowing".

I got the following.... Jett ( Jethro), a 1-syllable boy's name of Hebrew origin, means: Abundance; excellence. ~Kimberly Mommy to Alexis Iliana 07/17/99 and Emma Elidia & Aislyn Gabriela 10/01/02 come see us... http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/aislynemma/ |

![]() Wow! This is a great site--thanks. Of course, I won't be willing to name my son Jethro, because of the Bodine/Clampett implications. But still a great help, this site.

I thought the same thing. But, Jett has a nice ring to it! -- i think that is
what John Travolta named his son... so you could be trendy also! ![]() Good luck on the hunt. ~ we chose Aislyn's name because of the meaning-----inspiration ~Kimberly Mommy to Alexis Iliana 07/17/99 and Emma Elidia & Aislyn Gabriela 10/01/02 come see us... http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/aislynemma/ |

Of course, I won't be willing to name my son Jethro, because of the
Bodine/Clampett implications. LOL! That's exactly what my thought was when I read it. I don't think there are too many people in the US who wouldn't automatically think of the Beverly Hillbillies when hearing the name Jethro. ![]() Andrea twin girls-Jordan & Madison 3/22/00 |

If you ever meet the kid's parents, ask them if they are big fans of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

When I was a software training instructor, I had the name "Cletus Fernandez" on my roster and wasn't really sure what to expect. I definitely didn't expect Cletus to be a Pakistani computer programmer :-). I never did get a chance to ask how he got this name...
