Welcome to a new edition of ASK AMANDA. I have another question from Canada today. A big hello to my readers up north!

 

Ask Amanda

Q:    I am looking for a baby name that means COMPLETE.  I am pregnant with our third and last baby and really feel like this one completes our family.  So I am looking for a name that means that. Was hoping you would be able to help.

 

Many thanks. KRISTY, Downsview, ON, Canada

 

A:    This is a great question and one I’m sure many parents who are “completing” their families have considered, as well. I didn’t find a name that means “complete” exactly. I did find a bunch of names that touch on the same sentiment though. Here are my favorites from the names I found:

 

GIRLS

 

IRMA – “whole, entire” (also, IRMINA)

NATARA – “deeply rooted”

TERTIA – “third”

TRINITY – “triad”

UNITY – “oneness”

 

BOYS

 

KAIROS – “last, entire”

LEVI – “associated, together”

TREY – “three”

XAVIER – “new house”

 

There is a group of names that mean “powerful household,” which is a nice meaning, too. Some of the names in this group are: HENRIETTA, HARRIET, HARRY and HENRY.

 

Still looking for more? Read through these chapters of BABY NAMES MADE EASY: Heritage & Family and Numbers & Age. You can also find names with interesting meanings in the Miscellaneous chapter.

 

Good luck! I know you’ll find a name you love. Let me know what you choose. J

 

 

 

Happy naming,

♥  Amanda
