My real name is Amidhaar, and it means “the flow of the nectar of the gods”. A little too elegant for me, so everybody just calls me Amy lol

So my name was meant to be Halley, like the comet. That name means ruler/protector/hero.
However no one proofread my birth certificate-- instead they wrote Haley, leaving off an all important second L. This changes the meaning from something badass to hay meadow/ hay clearing/ haybale.
...yup.

My daughter's name (Natalie Eva) means Gift of Life from God. Years later, I found out I have had terrible endometriosis all my life. The number one cause of infertility in women, apparently. True to her name!

My name is Iris in Greek " Ίρις ". Iris is the known flower. But my parents named me after the goddess Iris from Greek mythology. Before the 12 gods of Olympus took charge, she was the messenger of all god's. Then, Hermes took her place and she became the personal messenger of Hera. She is also the goddess of rainbows 🌈. Plus she is the guard of a sacred river whose waters can turn people immortal. She is the only one who can touch the waters, even gods need her permission to touch it. So, yeah, she is a lil badass. I love my name!

My legal middle and last name means "Good-smelling Bringer of Joy". My preferred name is Henry, which is also a unit of electrical measurement, so now it means "Electric Bringer of Joy", which is 1,000x more badass.

Crystal - meaning, well, crystal XD
"A clear, transparent mineral" if you go for the noun definition, and "composed of or resembling crystal; clear, transparent" if you go for the adjective definition.
I was named after my grandmother's chandelier. True story. XD

My name is Marcia (like the Brady). It's means Brave. You have to be brave with my name, due to the fact everyone I meet says "Marcia Marcia Marcia" like as if they were the first person to say it.
Sidenote - I was named Marcia because I was born on my dad's birthday and his name is Mark.

My birth name is Eleanor, which means bringer of light or shining light. Which I mean, I’m super pale and don’t go outside, so I’m kind of reflective in the sun, but it’s ironic bc I’m to quote my mom, “a basic white goth girl” my preferred name is Ellison, which means son of Ellis, but the name Ellis means kind or benevolent

I've googled mine, and apparently it means pearl? I was named after my great-grandmother, so I don't think that was the reason my parents chose mine.
