what's in a name?

I was just browsing around for some nice names, because I suddenly felt like having a good name on hand in case I decided to insert one baptism name for myself.

I've always felt a bit 'meaningless' having a name which has no recorded meaning in history. As you know, my given name has no actual meaning by itself. No site around has this name even on the database. So, in a sense, I'm 'free' to define it whichever way I want. I felt a bit bothered enough to go dig (again) for possible meanings of my name. So I split my name into two (according to the syllables), and went to find what I could as closely as possible..

Actually, I'm quite pleasantly surprised by the outcome. All the 'possible' meanings are really very positive definitions. :)

(taking it that 'bez' or 'bezzie' is an alternate of 'bess' or 'bessie', which are short forms of the name Elizabeth/Elisabeth)

Thank God I got a really good name, unawares though my parents may have been when they named me. The names are even biblical!!

Maybe I don't need to get another additional name after all..
