Name Meaning - The Dictionary of Names
*** Because Names last a lifetime! ***

This Name Meaning Component, has over 4100 girls and boys names and meanings in the database, from 47 different origins (American, Arabic, French, Dutch, Greek, Hebrew, Irish, Italian, ...).

It has a backend interface that makes it very easy to add new names and to edit existing ones.

We plan on adding a few features such as:
* Rating;
* Report incorrect name info;
* Multi-categories (for example, a name can be place in Hebrew and biblical name at the same time)
* Add to favorites;
* Additional Info;

If you have any suggestion, please do not hesitate to email it to me.

This component has a SEF plugin for JoomSEF from Artio.

If you would like this component to have a special feature, please send me a detailed email.

Looking forward to the J1.5 version of this extension...


Looking for customizable fields by phreak_02, April 16, 2008
I like this component, it works straight and well. Just what i'm missing is the free definition of fields. There are several components (definitions, glossary,...) that could help in different tasks. With adding 1.5 and "define new fields" this "name meaning" could really go great for several applications.


Great plugin and support by thoeri, January 18, 2008

This is a really great component. Even though it is called Beta it is rock solid. Usually it is the other way around. It is called stable and it is just full of bugs. This is not.

I find it very easy to use and maintain. Thanks to clever select lists in the administration it is very easy to select which names to edit or view.

Also the support is great. I asked the developer if is was possible to implement swedish characters in the Alpha index and 30 minutes later I got some new files to use. And it worked immidiately with the swedish characters. I can only reccomend the this extension.
