Name Meanings

I'm reading this book and in it the main character uses the meanings of her third grade students' names as a project. So, I decided to look up the meaning of my name. Now, I had already heard that "Allison" meant "to tell the truth"...not exactly always fitting of me. lol. But then I tried it again tonight. The results were different. This time it said Allison meant "of noble birth". Huh! Well, maybe not naturely but seeing as I've been born again into the Kingdom of God...I guess I AM of noble birth! Pretty cool!

I also decided to look up my alias, Lola. "Lola" means "sorrowful". Hmmmm. Well, if I was truthful, I would have to admit that I tend to be sorrowful. What with all the horrible things in this world! Sheesh! Who wouldn't be? But, eh, I guess God gives me the hope to look beyond the sorrow, right!?

Well, just thought I'd share that. I also decided to include the names of SOME of my friends...see if your name is on the list.

Michelle..."Who is like God?"
Jeff..."Gif of Peace"
Katherine..."Pure;virginal"
Brian..."strong one"
Kara..."sweet melody"
Maxine..."greatest"
Ken..."handsome"
Abbey..."God is Joy"
Barak..."lighening"
David..."beloved"
Jenn..."white wave"
Joe..."God will increase"
Lori..."crowned with laurel"
Tim..."to honor God"
Milt.."from mill town"
