Subaru is not a ridiculous name in Japan, although it's not common.

That's an abject lie.

I've never met a single FOB that can properly pronounce "diarrhea".

Can't find link and in need of Lol's. Please paste it so we can read the goofiness?

edit: This? http://blog.sfgate.com/sfmoms/2014/0...mes-from-2013/

I got a daughter and wife, so I see some Wreck-it-Ralph, Little Pony, etc references on the girls. How unimaginative.

We're Happy w our two name choices since both are variants of names already in the family and relating to our culture and social class backgrounds.

Means "lady" or "princess" in Hebrew. This is the name of the wife of Abraham in the Old Testament.
She became the mother of Isaac at the age of 90. Her name was originally Sarai, but God changed it (see Genesis 17:15).
In England, Sarah came into use after the Protestant Reformation.

Means "Gift from or of the grace or mercy of the Lord." also relating to some aspect of divine or royal bearing(??) IIRC.
English form of Iohannes, the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH is gracious".
The second is the apostle John, who is also traditionally regarded as the author of the fourth Gospel and Revelation. (John, Shane, Sean, Ian...)
This name was initially more common among Eastern Christians in the Byzantine Empire, but it flourished in Western Europe after the First Crusade.
In England it became extremely popular: during the later Middle Ages it was given to approximately a fifth of all English boys.

What's "Hide" mean? Seriously, aside from "Secret" or "Hidden"? (Nothing else I can find in our book.)
