Yes,there is . I named my daughter Hannah for two reasons. First,because I cared for a baby named Hannah while I was in college and worked at a day-care. She was an adorable infant and I loved her name. The other reason is because it was a French version of Ann which is my grandmothers' name. It worked out kind of interesting for another reason,also. Me and my husband had difficulty conceiving and my husband informed me after we named her that Hannah in the Bible had the same problem. I am Agnostic so it means nothing spiritually to me but I found it kind of fascinating because he is Christian.

My first....I loved the first name, and his middle name is after his father..One is a Biblical name, which is important to me.

My second has two Biblical names, as it turned out....His first name was picked out of the Bible, and his middle name was after my brother, who passed away when I was 11...(which also happens to be Biblical)

My 3rd, first name is Biblical....and her middle name is beautiful, and went so well with her first name...

My last...her first name is Biblical...and her second name is so pretty, and I put a spin on the spelling to honor my little sister, who passed away when she was born...

I wanted all my children to have at least one Biblical name, because of my faith in God.

Yes both of my daughters. My first, Sydney because I always wanted to go there. My second Alyssa has the initials of her aunt A.D.G. after my husbands sister who died 2 years before she was born.

I was raised by an elderly aunt and uncle, but they were just like real parents to me and loved me very much. When my son was born, we had trouble finding a boy's name that we both liked that was not too common and yet simple, easy to pronounce and spell (My husband's requirements). My mother-in-law was always big on family names. She suggested turning my Uncle's name around, which we did. It became an honor to him and met the requirements.

I dont have any Kids but my parents named me just becuase they adored it. Last year I went to Istanbul and the airport official who checks your visa looked at my passport too long and said that how come I have a Turkish name?
