What's in a name?

Ok, today I got a bug in my ear. I don't know why - but I looked up the meaning of my daughters name. BOY was I shocked. Mainly because it definately doesn't seem like her. Not in the least bit. Perhaps I misnamed her? Rebecca, according to the sites I found ( and I searched several ) said it meant Bound or Tied. That it was Hebrew in origin and the Traits are as follows: People think of Rebecca as a pretty, unpretentious young woman who is smart, well-read, and either outspoken and strong-willed, or soft and sweet. Where as Marie - is also Hebrew in origin and is defined as Bitterness, or Bitter. The traits commonly thought of with a Marie are as follows: Most people think of Marie as a pretty, fun-loving woman who is artistic, friendly, and sweet. Some, though, think of Marie as hardworking, dependable, and boring. So I suppose according to the wonderous 'name game' The Princess Pea could turn out just fine, or be a boring kid. Though with me as her mother, I highly doubt that. After all, we all know how boring I turned out to be right? HAHA!
