My name, Michelle, means “like God” or “close to God.” That’s a lot to live up to! I was named after my mom’s cousin. My nickname is Chelle (pronounced shell). And just for the record, I do not like the Beatles’ song, “Michelle, ma belle.” Ok, good luck!
Great contest! My name is Beverly. I really don't love the meaning of my name though - not only is it old - it's old English and it means "from the beaver meadow" - oh, and it is a unisex name. Although I have yet to meet a men with the name, I have truly only met a few women with the name.

ReplyDeleteWhat an inventive giveaway! This is a great idea! My name is Mindy, and according to the website you posted, in German the name Mindy means Love. Something I don't mind at all! Mindy isn't short for anything like most people think it should be, and no, I don't know where Mork is, so don't ask. :-)

My name is Melissa and it is from Greek for "honeybee." Melissa was a nymph who nurtured Zeus back to health by feeding him honey. He repaid her kindness by turning her into an insect. Afterward, he regretted what happened, so he named the honeybee after Melissa. Miel Abeille is the literal translation of honeybee into French.

My name is Linda and it means (according the link) Pretty or Snake. Now there is a choice! What it really means is that I am in the 50 to 60 age range where most of the Lindas are!!! Would love the book.
ReplyDeleteI checked with "Bing" and he says my name means "Protector". I can live with that! Yep, my Dad named me after the movie "Ramona". Lucky he didn't choose "Creature from the Black Lagoon"!
