D: I'm so sorry! Had I know I woulda come and seen ya, since I live down here, and personally give you a "I'm sorry" hug!
Haha, you like awesome names and meanings too, huh? Hm, Amaya...for a fic that has her Japanese, I like it! No, he doesn't deserve a good one. Bastard. Aw, I love the kids' names... :)
Well, since we're sharing name meanings...
Iian Giovanni- Both names are variants on John (The height of creativity! XD) Seren Esther- "Seren" is "star" in Welsh, but is also a rank in the Israeli army (didn't actually know that when I named her) equivalent to Captain. Esther is Persian for "star", BUT is also a Hebrew word/name meaning "Something hidden". So, 'A star that is hidden' or 'A leader that is hidden', basically.
Alden (Gio's dad)- Is Old English for "Old friend" (haha, I found that out after I made him extremely loyal :P)
Ginata Isabella (MB)- Ginata is "flower" in Italian, and got chosen while angsting and listening to Bye bye, Beautiful by Nightwish D: (there's a line about a flower forsaking "the tree", and my mind ran with it... It was NaNoWriMo, okay?) Isabella's just the name I ever heard attributed to her, and it stuck in my head.
Miyamoto's given name is Hanako, and I just named her that because it seemed to work... :P Domino's mother is Robin Mizaki. I don't have her husband and Miya's hubby named yet...
Rosa-Bree (the first of G&S's) just sounded nice, but she was named for the plant, and possibly for the town in LOTR (LOL)
The quadruplets are Junior, Giovanna, Yocheved, and Aino: Giovanni jr and Giovanna are of course the same ("A gift from G-d", IIRC), Yocheved is "G-d's glory", and Aino is "The Only One" in...Finnish?. You know, back when they weren't evil and were fairly religious (haha what). (Yoki and Aino don't have middle names yet :P)
Jenni and Lilly are... I think it was Zivah Genevieve and Elisheva something-or-another respectively... >_> Can't find my notes...
The triplets are Elian Gavriel, Ahava Eliana, and Alden Kadmiel, and I had some fun with those. Elian Gavriel is "G-d has answered" (They'd been hoping for another boy after they thought Silver and his twin died) and with her father's name ("Hero of G-d" I think), Ahava Eliana "My G-d has answered in love", and Alden Kadmiel (Kadmiel is the Hebrew version of Alden) means "Old friend who stands before G-d", named after Giovanni's father, who is presumed dead.
Haha, nationality wise, mine are all over the place. Giovanni is Italian/French, as is his father, his mother is Italian. Seren is Israeli, but born in Viridian like Gio, her parents are from the states. Miya is Japanese, like her husband, Robin is American, but her Husband is Japanese, and there's a few Irish and other folk OCs too...
As for Gio's Japanese name, I lampshaded it: A lot of Japanese have trouble pronouncing it probably, so after the saw the Earth Badge of his father's, they're like "Hey, it looks like a Sakaki branch", and it stuck as a nickname. Seren (whose name got mistake for a Japanese pronunciation of Selene), just went with Hoshiko "Star Child" when she needed to. :P
