Description:

I just saw this idea in a book and thought it would make a great swap.

So here goes...

Lets make a bookmark for our partner with their name on it and the meaning of their name on it.

There are lots of websites that you can go to to find out what someone's name means. For example: My daughter's name, Rachael, means innocent lamb. My future daughter-in-law's name, Heather, means a flowering plant.

When you get your partner, go to one of these type of websites and find out what their name means. Make them a bookmark that includes both their name and the meaning of their name on it.

You can make it of any material you like and decorate it however you like. It is not necessary, but you might want to look at their profiles for ideas on how to decorate it or maybe a color choice for the bookmark. Just please make something that you would like to receive, don't just slap it together with our thought.

Everyone is welcome to join as long as you have at least a 4.5 rating and a filled out profile, but I will check profiles and ban anyone who I feel may be iffy.

If absolutely necessary, I will angel, but I hope that there will be no flakers.

I will give 2 weeks for sign up and 3 weeks for you to get your bookmark made and sent.

Any questions, please PM me.

I do not wish to disclose my name in the profile, so anyone who gets me as a partner should simply send me a personal message and I'll be glad to share this precious detail :))

What do you do if the name is unique and not found anywhere?

bjohnston67 02/20/2010 #

You could try goggling just the name. That may come up with a hit.

Does the meaning of the name have to be put in words on the bookmark of can it be represented using pictures of what the name means and have only the word on the bookmark the name of the person?

I ask because I don't have a printer and would have to either write everything out and/or cut out letters to make the name/words and not sure if that is ok.

ReduceReuseRepurpose... you can do that. It is sender's choice as to how it is made. Please if you put a picture instead of the word(s), please put a note in with the swap to tell your partner what the mean is.

hmm wondering how long it takes for regular letter mail to reach England. I mailed on Feb 27 and haven't heard anything.

@ReduceReuseRepurpose it should take 6 days- it takes about that time from UK to USA, so other way should be the same.
