What's in a name?

My pastor mentioned this morning that God includes a lot meaning in a name and it got me thinking- What's in a name? So, I took some time too look up what my name means and heres what i found.

Amanda Michelle- Worthy of love, Who is like God

Wow, that is just overwhelming me right now. I just feel so unworthy of such a noble name!

Worthy of love- I don't know, I am not the most compassionate person around and definitely do not deserve to be loved at times.

Who is like God- that just blows my mind even more. I try my best to give God all of me but i constantly fall short, i fail, i let him down. God is merciful, forgiving, giver of life, unfailing, constant, loving, compassionate, and so much more! Those characterisitc dont describe me too often, i cant see how my name can mean "who is like God". Whether my parents chose my name because of its meaning or just because they liked the way it sounded, i have been called to live up to it. This is a new challenge, can i live up to the amazing name God and my parents have blessed me with? What about you? What does youre name mean? Do you see the relationship it creates- how God intimately appointed you a specific name to match who you are? Are you living up to what God has given you?
