You know, I do actually check for majority opinion when searching a name meaning; I don't just go off Behind The Name. If I get massively conflicting meanings (and I don't mean variants like one saying Nila means dark blue, and another saying it means sapphire blue, but actual meaning differences like one says it means red and another says it means battlefield or whatever) then I don't use that name. I do actually put some research and effort into the names I find instead of simply reading the Behind The Name colour theme list and picking one without checking it against other sources. I'm always impressed with the amount of time and effort you pour into your characters. I just never knew where to look. I figured a google search would lead to tons of dead ends (didn't end up being the case once I actually tried it, but it was a fear) and besides Behind the Name I didn't know where to go. I always just searched "____ in other languages" and fished around until I found something I could use.

I was asking you where you got those naming ideas from because I want to use those sources in the future.
