Robo Blog: Meaning of Names

I went to this fun coffee yesterday and upon our arrival, the hostess presented us with a sheet of labels that had various phrases and descriptive words on each label. We were told that they were the meanings of our first names. Everyone was to scan the list and "guess" what their first names meant. Once we chose, we pulled off the label and wore them as name tags...it was a fun ice breaker. Towards the end of the gathering, Lynn informed us of the matches, and I was surprised how many people did not know what their names meant. I was one of 3 (out of approx. 25 people)that knew the meaning of my name, I am "A Rock".

So, I am going to test the following people....my entire family (in-laws too)and The Abrahamsons...Look through the list and see if you can figure it out. Some sound a little religious...sorry, not my doing...blame it on your parents! Please respond by clicking on the "comment" button...let's see how many you get right...NO CHEATING! GOOD LUCK! I will post the answers later in the week :<)

I know I am married to the protector of mankind. I thought my name meant strong & able so maybe you left me off the list!

I'll take a stab at a few. Its a wild guess but I think my name means Tailor. Just a hunch.
I bet Stu is Keeper of the Estate.
The only other one I know for sure is that Jose is Honey-Bee, he was so proud to tell me that when we first met.

And away we go...
Jack is definitely #20, God is Gracious.
Stu is the Keeper of the Estate, #21 (and has been teased about it previously as being boring)
Erica is the Honorable Ruler, #15, and is quite happy with her name!
Steve is definitely the Crowned One, #22.
Matt is #6, God's Gift.
Sarah is the Princess, #9, of course.
And, I did not look any of these up on another website...uh, right! :-)

I assume "lord remembers" refers to the hebrew prophet Zachariah, which directly translated from the original hebrew text means "god will remember" Of course he will, who could forget me?
