Names are more than just sounds that we identify with people, places, and things. Traditionally, most societies assigned names to their citizens based on specific name meanings, indicating the personality traits of the person, values of the family, or characteristics that they hope will develop in the child. In some cases, generic names were assigned to children (first daughter, second son) until the child's personality came to the surface. In modern Western culture, baby names tend to be assigned on the basis of personal taste (how the name sounds to the parents), and sometimes on names of honored or deceased family members. These are probably not the worst criteria in the world for choosing names, but when a child asks, "What does my name mean?" the parents usually can't answer. Knowing the meaning of names can bring an additional sense of identity to a child's life, and it also shows that the parents took great care in making this important decision. In addition, having knowledge of name meanings can help the parents to choose between names; if there is a debate between two names that sound nice to the parents, knowing the name meanings can add another criteria for comparison that can help to clear up the decision.
Now it is easier than ever to research the meanings of names due to the internet. Leading the way in name research is MFNames.com, which provides a huge database of names, name meanings, name origins, and other useful information about male and female names.

MFNames.com is also a very useful tool for anyone who wants to choose names for any reason.
