ArchivesRe: Submit-a-Name: Deleted...? [I don't yet have PM permission]
in reply to a message by LMS
They are names of two of my daughters, one middle name [Jubilee], one first [Maranatha].
Jubilee (at least mine, in 1984) was named for the Jewish festival and that's the etymology that I gave. Cf. Christmas
(The fictional Marvel heroine was created in 1989...)

Maranatha was named for a popular Biblical expression, also the etymology that I gave. Those who met our Maranie told us of a Hispanic girl with the same spelling, but a slightly different pronunciation.

So, in those cases, we used two English (if Biblical) words as names, but I thought their etymologies would be relevant.
There is a precedent for English words as names, like Faith, Hope and Charity, but all of those words have further etymologies, too.
P.S.: I can't get the duplicates to actually appear on my PNL, even though they are apparently still counted.
P.P.S.: Ben is a perfect candidate for a name element entry, or, at least, a note of such at its present entry.

I understand they are names, originally used as words, now used on people, I'm not arguing that with you. What I am saying is that the information you provided was no different than the information on the original description OR the information wasn't really relevant to the usage of it as a name.
If someone wants to add all of that extra information for you, they can and I won't change it, but I won't be changing my edit. I think it was a fair edit.
