the beauty of names

Sometimes I find it completely fascinating to find out what names mean. In Choir 35 we have always known that Stella means "star" - and until recently, I didn't know what the other names meant. So I googled them... ah, dear Google.

So here we go, all of Choir 35:

John: God is gracious

Benson: Son of Benedict

Rogers: Warrior

Jonah: Dove

Reagan: Little King

Brian: Noble, strong, victorious

Derrick: Ruler of the people (Derrick has wanted to be a president for almost all of tour!)

Alex: Defender/Defending men

James: Supplanter

Charity: Love, generous

Brenda: Sword

Ruth: Friend, compassionate

Grace: Good will

Ritah: Pearl

Priscillah: Ancient

Faith: Confidence, belief

Stella: Star

Esther: Star

Deborah: A bee

Naomi: Beautiful, pleasant, delightful

Ivy: Ivy. haha.

Peace: Tranquility

Eunice: Good victory

I love it.
