Meaning of name influence your decision?

I was just curious about how many of y'all let the meaning of a name influence your decision on using it or not? If any of y'all know a little about me, I'm not TTC but I just love names, that's why I'm here. That said, DH and I have always loved the name Cameron, but the only meaning I've been able to find for that name has been 'crooked nose' or 'bent nose' That alone has deterred us from using the name for either of our DS's. Are there any names out there that you *LOVE* but can't see yourself using because of the meaning? How much does the meaning of a name affect your overall decision? Just curious!

I don't usually choose names based on the meanings. We had about 3 or 4 mn's we really liked with the boy's name we have chosen. We couldn't decide so I decided to look up all the meanings of the names we had remaining and that narrowed our choice down much easier. But no, meaning doesn't have that big of a barrier on our name choosing.
