My name is Hannah and it means grace, favour, and charm.
I got the name because my parents are religious and Hannah is some old woman in the bible who couldn't give birth so God sent her a son.
Perdita was their second choice though. Yeah.. o_O

"Megan is a Welsh name, originally a pet form of Margaret."
Origin: Greek, through Welsh
Meaning: "Pearl"
also:
Additional info:
"Megan is a Welsh diminutive form of Margaret, from Greek 'margaron', "pearl", and thus means "little pearl". The form may have been borrowed from, or given rise to such abbreviated forms as Meg, Maggie and Mags"

my name is Anne Solitude, i know, What were my parents thinking?? well they weren't, my mom let my dad name me and he decided to name me after his grand-mother Solitude. .
Anne means: Grace; favour
Solitude means:
seclusion or isolation, i.e. lack of contact with other people.
Solitude can bring a warm sense of peace and serenity to your inner self. Solitude comes with self-confidence.
It allows one to apply their faith and love in a higher being to appreciation of their own human qualities.
The core of solitude is in the qualities of humility and compassion.
now i used to hate it, but then i realized that i didn't want to be another Samantha, Caroline, Vanessa, and so on [no offense to those named so]
it's what makes me me, so now I LOVE IT!!

It is also associated with the Greek word meli meaning "honey" and with Linda meaning "gentle, soft, tender" in Germanic[2]
My mom named me after a character in a movie (Cant remember the title!) whose name was Lenny and she thought that could be a nickname for Melinda... she never ended up calling me that though!

Yeah my name is Melissa and my mom named me after a character in a movie too! And yeah it means honey bee, thats where i got my nickname as you can see XD
