It can take a very long time for user-submitted names to be added to the site. Put it this way: I submitted a number of names when submissions first opened in 2006, which still haven't been added. And it's the same for everyone.
You see, Mike C, the owner of Behind the Name, runs it for interest and enjoyment. It's not his job and he doesn't get paid for it; he has his own job and family to spend time on as well. So while updates are always in progress, it can take quite a long time for any particular name to be updated.
Also, user-submitted names have to be researched and confirmed before they are added, and if they're made up or the meaning given is spurious, they won't be added at all. It's not an automatic process.
So . . . you'll just have to be patient. I recommend hanging around and getting involved on all of the boards while you wait. But you might want to choose a more distinctive username - we have a "Laura W" so you might at least want to add an extra identifier to your username.
