For extra credit, I like to interpret first & middle names together. Often, they will give each other a new, or more-specific, context.
Example:
My own first name is
LAWRENCE, meaning "winner of an athletic event." [Lat. "laurel-crowned"]
My middle name,
ARLEN, means "devotee, advocate." [Irish Gaelic "gage, pledge"]
"Prevailing" x "advocate" = "champion"
"Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth." Ps. 127:4
