There's one use for this, but keep it away from clients. You'll have
someone who wants a name that 'means X'. I loathe name meanings, since
for the most part they were as referenced back then as they were in
modern times before the big boom of baby names books (which was the
mid 1960s when the later baby boomers were becoming hippies and there
was this sudden audience for 'name meanings' and other strange stuff).
Anyway, in private you can skin Coghlan looking for 'meanings' and
then take that info to a decent source - I cross reference with the
Saint Gabriel library and Ò Corràin & Maguire - as a starting point
for 'a name that means stardust-pixie-winemaker' or whatever.
Yes, much sarcasm in the above, and if I offended someone, sorry. I
don't even remember what Teceangl means, only that it sounds
exceptionally cool and I love being called that name.
- Teceangl Bach (Teceangl the small)
