What's in a Name?

Originally when we picked the names for our children it was a simple formula. Each of their first names are names that we liked best and each of their middle names are for our mothers. The other day I decided that it might be important to know what their names mean (although if they were something horrible I don't know what I would've done). I looked them up in the baby name book and thought my findings were pretty neat.

Addison - (English origin) a child of Adam
Michele - (Italian spelling, French origin) who is like God?

Erin - (Irish origin) peace
Renee - (French origin) born again

How incredible that their names so strongly reflect our faith? However, I suppose that from now on we better make sure the names of our other children are just as meaningful :)
