What's in a name?

I learned today that my name means "God has answered." One of the men here said his daughter's middle name is also JaNae (not sure how they spell it though). He said they had a hard time getting her here and chose her middle name to reflect that their prayers were answered. He said the "Ja" is a derivative of Jehovah. Pretty amazing if you ask me.

Wow! That's a really neat meaning to your name. Nice for reflection. Mine only means "fiery" -- I guess I should be careful when playing with matches.
