I think names do matter.... I felt like I just blended in with the crowd...and I hated my name....its Michelle and everywhere I went there were a few other Michelles....very annoying.
I picked names that had meaning to me and my family. I didn't pay attention to what it meant. And I also kept the initials the same as it ran in dh famly
I do think it does matter. My children were named after grandparents, and also for the meaning. My daughter is Kathryn-meaning Pure and my Son is Garrett meaning Spear Ruler.
