Baby Name Meanings...

So I've been doing my research on what our baby names mean... And it's quite interesting. Names apparently have different meanings under different origins, and some have different meanings with different spellings.... We're picking and choosing the meanings we like the most!

Our names are -

Lyla Arabella for a girl
Cooper Alexander for a boy

So here's what I've found -

Lyla - French meaning "From the Island"
Lila - Persian meaning "Dark Haired Beauty", Sanskirt meaning "Divine Play", and Swahili meaning "Good"

Of course we like the "Dark Haired Beauty" meaning the most, so that's what we're going with... But still using Lyla as the spelling! lol. It's pronounced the same, just spelled differently

Arabella - English meaning "Beautiful Lion", Dutch meaning "Beautiful", German meaning "Eagle Heroine"

Of course we like the "Beautiful" meaning the most, so we're sticking with that! lol

Cooper - English meaning "Barrel Maker"

We're not too thrilled with the meaning "Barrel Maker" for Cooper, but that's the only meaning I can find for it... So guess we have to go with that!

Alexander - Greek meaning "Defender of Men"

We like the Greek meaning for Alexander.

So we have a "Beautiful Dark Haired Beauty" and a Denfender of Men Barrel Maker" LOL

Gotta love it!!!
