My name meaning is supplanter or origin of Hebrew. I don't think it fits me because i'm not religous.

Anthony-

Yes I was able to find the meaning to find my name. It means worthy of praise. The meaning that I would make up for my name would be respectful.

Taylor

My name means Tailor. It reflects myself, because a tailor has something to do with clothes, and I like to shop for clothes and sew.

I was able to find the meaning of my name and it means Torture and Pure. It was made after the saint Alexandria was tortured on a spike wheel. I think my name suits me in some ways, but not completly.
