The thing to watch with a meaning name
A strength name in the middle slot is a private message rather than a public demand. The child is not called Valour every morning; they simply carry it. But meaning does not survive a bad join. A name can mean everything you want it to and still slur into your surname, or produce initials your child will be teased for. Choose two or three from the tables above, then run each one through the checker with your real surname. The meaning is why you shortlist a name; the sound is why you keep it.

Does a name's meaning matter more than its sound?
