Help[Opinions] Re: Name meanings
in reply to a message by )(
I think I realised that names are words and words have meanings before I actually knew the meanings of any specific names.
I taught a rather slow, unacademically inclined class once, and to cheer them up I used to tell them little things that even they could fine interesting. One day I told them that names have meanings, and they were fascinated. One girl in particular couldn't sit still! She just had to know the meaning of her name ... surname was Miller, fn was Melody, so you wouldn't think that would be a challenge, but it was.
