In (modern) Hebrew it is the same; my 3 are "little valley", "sapling" and "brook". You can call a boy "dawn" too.Originally Posted by lph

Haha! The kids I've taught (and this is merely most memorable the tip of the iceberg)...
Princess and Empress (sisters)
Peace (noisiest kid in the class, of course)
Talon
McChesney
Angel (the opposite, of course)
Bienvenue (I thought that one was kinda neat though - definitely a neat kid when he had his act together - guess it just suited him somehow)
I've taught a few Hemis, but always Maori/part-Maori boys - it's the short form of Hemiora. Aroha is a maori girls' name, but I hope you wouldn't go calling a kid "Love" in English. Actually, there are a lot really pretty names that only sound odd because they are arabic/asian/whatever and we're not used to hearing them - Amira, Anisa, Priya, Sadia, Zaynah...Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

My dad seriously wanted to name me Pumpkin. Seriously.
My mom wanted to name me Peggy Jr. and call me Junior.
THANK GOD they settled on Paige, and my middle name came from a Kathleen Woodwiss romance novel.
A friend of mine named her child: Abcde prounounced Absidy.Paige

Interesting thread so here's what I've heard and seen:
I worked with a woman who called herself Sissy but her real name was Clifford (apparently it was a family name and her father was gonna name the kid Clifford, no matter if it was a boy or a girl).
Another woman I work with named her little boy Draven Lennon (the first name I don't where they got it but the middle name is after John Lennon). I like it but it took a little to grow on me.
I grew up with a girl named Meadow Flower (first and middle). Wonder what her parents where all about?
I had a great uncle Gold and a great aunt Silver and there younger brother, my other great uncle, was named, wait for it....Thomas. My Grandfather's first and middle name is as follows: J B. That's it, they aren't initials, that's just his name and how you spell it. Weird.
