What is the meaning of the name Brantina?

The name Brantina was developed after the birth and naming of my second child - Her name is Christyna, and my son - 5 years her senior is named Brandon. As any parent of numerous children can verify, it is difficult to keep the names straight at certain times and as you begin to address one of them you realize you should be speaking to the other - which is how Brantina came about - I would begin saying Brandon and realize I should be addressing Christyna - thus - Brantina - (she was Tina for short) - You will find I also had the name incorporated in 1994.


What is the meaning of the name Michaella?

Well, with Michaella being my name, I should know...The name Michaella is pronounced as Mikayla. The name Michaella, or any other way you spell it, and the name Michelle, is a femanine version of the male's name Michael. Michaella, however, spelled in that way, means "Who is like the Lord".


What is the allusion in the phrase 'by any other name'?

The allusion is to Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet had a forbidden romance, because their respective families were feuding. Juliet is thinking about the difficulties caused by their names, being from the quarreling families, and says: JULIET: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, And for that name which is no part of thee Take all myself. Her point is that a name is less significant than the substance it signifies, and that phrase has often been quoted, in many contexts.
