[Opinions] Re: Anina
in reply to a message by Array
Anina Irit and Anina Iris are gorgeous! Very beautiful, indeed. I'm don't really like the anglicised Jael, but I really love the Hebrew form of Yael. The only downside is that it means "mountain goat" (it also can mean "ascend"). The upside is that it's the name of a heroine in the Tanakh._____

I'm not one to obsess over meanings. I mean, look at the meanings of names most people are using? Caleb means dog and Rachel means ewe. Doesn't mean they're bad names! So I wouldn't worry too much about Yael's meaning. Just sayinging...I like Anina. It's very pretty. Anina Clarisse? Anina Fern? Anina Roseanne?Arcadia

It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think

Meanings don't bother me too much in general unless they're particularly horrid. One of my favourite combos is Aviva Yaen which together means "spring ostrich", LOL. I don't know if I'll be using that one as it seems a little too much. I'm on the fence at the moment on "mountain goat", though. :/Anina Fern has a pretty simplicity to it. I like it!_____

Mountain goats are cute.When my youngest sister was little, my mum referred to her as "the little mountain goat," because she climbed all over the furniture. Much better than my nickname for her--I called her "the shark" because she bit! :DBut then, meanings don't bother me at all. While I try to remember them, for triva's sake, all meaning comes from my associations with a name.I really like the suggestion of Anina Fern, too--it sounds really lovely green-and-red to me. :)Array

LOL! Mountain goat--what a cute nickname! That can apply to almost any wee one as they all have a proclivity to put anything and everything in their mouths and climb on top of everything.I had a nickname for my little sibling, too. I called him "the beast" because he was so mean. :)_____
