    My name's Renee and it means Reborn/Born Again =)

    Same!! I have a tattoo the Japanese symbol for reborn on my shoulder blade (it symbolises a butterfly coming out of a crysalis so I got it when I made a massive change in my life - like a new start).

    Megan is derived from Margaret, which means "pearl". It's Welsh.

    Now how to pronounce it is always a battle. I prefer MEH-gan (two short e sounds), but don't correct people when they say MAY-gan. I hate MEE-gan and any endings that sound like "gun". :)

    Hmm.. Looked mine up and I didn't find it any where! lol. This is what one website said..

    "Out of 5,272,694 records in the U.S. Social Security Administration data, the name “Mariany” was not present. You might want to use a short version of your first name or perhaps your nickname.

    On the other hand, you simply have a name that no one else in America is using. For 101 years only your parents have thought of using your name. Hoorah! You are a unique individual."

    I've seen my name before but spelled with an "i" at the end. My dad said he named me Mariany because of my grandmas. His moms name was Maria and my moms moms name was Annie. So he put it together and got Mariany!
