this past week the grade 2 class that i work in learned the meanings of some names from the Bible. the teacher also looked up all of the student's names and told them what the meaning is. i also decided to find all of the meanings to the names of the students who are in the social skills group i co-teach for their scrapbooks. this reminded me of a conversation i had with my father-in-law a few years back.
at a dyck family function i mentioned that i am not fond of my middle name. my father-in-law said to me "you know what lael, it probably has a really great meaning. you should look it up. it might change how you feel about it." so i immediately went to the computer and looked up the meaning to my nasty middle name, beverly.....and the meaning that i found was "beaver".......awesome!!!! :P that increased my loathing a few notches. well i looked it up again yesterday and the meaning i found this time was "beaver field"....both terrible options.

That actually made me laugh out loud... you are SSSSOOOO NOT a beaver -- or a Beverly!!!! The whole time I was reading, I was trying to guess what your middle name might be, but I would NEVER have guessed! It doesn't fit you at all!!!!! Heehee!!!
ReplyDeletei love the name "Lael" its beautiful! theres a Jael in my kids skating class, but i prefer Lael for sure.
ReplyDeleteI also laughed out loud at this. Beaver is a funny meaning for a name. You have told me your middle name before but I forgot. And I also think Lael is a nice name.
ReplyDeletei don't know where you're looking up your name meanings, but according to my findings, beverly means beaver stream or meadow. that's pretty, right? :)
