My Mom actually named us with the meaning of our names in mind.
My name means Christian Princess, my sister's name means Reborn Hero. My brother's is Aztec for the boy of fire and water. Her name means resurrection, which is pretty appropriate for her. Mine? Not so much.
I feel that a parent's name for their child is a blessing for their child. Ethan means one that is strong, and naming your son Ethan is a blessing that they will be strong individuals... Alexander means the defender, naming your son Alexander is a blessing that he will be a noble man with a heart for those in need. A name like Ethan Alexander? You get where I'm going with this.
So yeah, I see what you mean. You are given the opportunity to bless your child, and you should take it. Maybe this culture does not value such blessings, but that's just my opinion.
it's even better that a name meaning "christian princess" is ironic. i've noticed that anybody named christian, hope, faith, chastity, anything like that, are usually extra wild.
My mom gave great thought to our first names, all have very important meanings. Mine is religious, so is my bro's (an honor to my grandma's youngest child, she died shorty after), my other bro is 50/50 and he got Jason, which she thinks is magical because if you take the first letters of July August, September October and November, it spells Jason. Don't ask me why, I don't get it as far as naming someone goes, but whatever floats her boat.
My Mom also admitted that she got the idea for my middle name "Christine" because "Christine", the movie about the haunted car, was playing on marathon during her last trimester.
Is it normal I hate those cop-out middle names?

It was a great book, though.
