OK, ladies, I like the idea of having a mn that means something, like Grace, Faith, Hope. But, can you help me get beyond these?? What other words could work as names with 'meaning'?

I think the most meaningful mns are those that are found in your & dh's family trees.

I have also been on the hunt for middle names that are meaningful. I tend to like names that mean something as opposed to the actual word itself, i.e. love, hope, faith, etc.

Here are a few that I've found:

Kate - Pure
Nadia/Nadine- Hope
Emilia/Emelia - To strive or excel, friendly
Callie - Beautiful
Zoe/Zoey, Eve/Eva - Life

I'll add Amour (love). I also adore the name Hope.
