Hi Farmgirls!! I thought it would be soo much fun to share what our first names and middle names mean. I'll start. 
Channah ( or Hannah) means Grace or Graceful
And my middle name Jessie means God is gracious. :)
I would love to hear what yours means!!
Hugs,

I tease my mom all the time, that she named me after a folk singer from back in her day. She swears she didn't, but she used to have alot of her records. LOL
Melanie means--- dark, black
and Ann means-- gracious
Hmmm maybe I will go see what my kiddos names mean.
I'll come back with that later. Dinner's on the stove.

From what I remember, Brenda is gaelic for fiery- hmmm I have known a bunch of red-headed Brenda's and yes I have quite a bit of red in my hair. Ok, well, I suppose the fiery could be referring to temperment....but I don't have a temper, honest!
Ann mean gracious, as Melanie said.

LOL I'm in the floor rolling, Melanie! Who'd a thought in a million years that two girls- named after Melanie oooo what is her last name? Safka? is that right? would wind up on MJF? Too funny!
My home ec teacher asked me once if I was named after the character Melanie in Gone With the Wind. I just looked at her like "umm what's that?" Then I told her about the other Melanie. She just "oh that's nice." You know she didn't approve. LOL
But I loved Melanie's music growing up. I don't know what my mom ever did with those old records. I liked the roller skates song and Beautiful People was one of my favorites too.

Well, like you said Channah, Jessie means "God is gracious"
and my middle name, Nicole means "Victory"
I like the meaning much more than what I was named after.hehe. There was an old Carlie Simon song called Jessie that my Mom liked at the time I was born. Have you heard it? Obviously, it was a song of the times. I bought a CD of it. hmm...is all I'm gonna say..LOL ;)
Great subject Channah!
hugs

My first name _ Marian_ is derived from Maria, mother of God.
Second name _ Bernadette_ couragious, strong. But I am named after Bernadette Soubiroux, Saint of Lourdes
Third name _ José_ means Valued.
My third name comes from my Uncle, his name was Johannes :)
My other uncle was named Bernardus, so am also named after him
My grandmommy's name was Maria, named after her
SO my complete names are: Marian José Bernadette.
Second name NOT pronounced the Spanish way lol.

I thought my name was pretty straightforward: Carol, meaning "song of joy and praise" (French origins) but then I thought I would Google it to see for sure. I also found that depending language origins, it can mean other things:
Carol: Manly, Strong. A Variant of Charles; from Carolus, the Latinized Form of the Name.
Carol: Famous Bearer: Pope John Paul Ii's Real Name is Karol Wojtyla. Karol is a Variant Spelling of Carol.
A Feminine Form of Charles Meaning Strong or Manly. Also a Diminutive of Caroline. Also, Feminine of Carl, meaning joy.
I like the song of joy and praise connotation. Even strong. Not so much "manly."
But, I happen to know that my Mom & Dad never considered these meanings when my name was selected. They just liked the name.

Amy:Beloved
Lynn:Water-loving
That middle name couldn't be any more true! I've been swimming as long as I've been walking, swam in high school (still do, just not competitively), lifeguarded through college and love the playing in the water as much as playing in the dirt! Always thought of it as a very generic middle name, but it sure does fit!
Channah, what a wonderful idea!!
Prayer costs nothing, but is worth the most. |

My first name is Kristen which means "lover of Christ" or "believer in Christ." I've seen both. Another story is how I got my name. Should that be in a different post? Should I just tell it here? Ok, will. lol So my full first and middle name goes like this: Kristen Carol. And I was born in December. Should have been born quite close to Christmas, so my mom was thinking of Christmas Carol when she named me Kristen Carol.

My mom and dad didn't decide our names by meaning, mostly we were named for family members.
Though no one in my family has my first name.
Denise means wise discerner and Helena means bright one.
Never really cared for my first name though.
God is good....all the time.
