This girl's and boy's name is used in English. Its source is scylf leah, an Old English phrase meaning "Sloped meadow." (Huh?)

Nicknames of the name Shelley include: Shell. Alternate spellings of the name Shelley include: Sheli, Shelli, Shellie, Shelly. There are two other forms of Shelley. There are also teasing nicknames:

Okay, Im putting the FORT on alert, If anyone calls me "Smelly Belly", Its ON!

My name has always been a burden to me. I've hated it all my life. There's nothing really wrong with it, I've just never been happy with it, mostly because I wanted it to be spelled differently. I guess as I get older, I'm getting happier with it.

Name: Leslie

Alternate spellings of the name Leslie include: Leslea, Leslee, Lesleigh, Lesley, Lesli, Lesly

Meaning: [according to the babynamer.com website) a Gaelic phrase meaning "Holly garden." I have seen the meaning as "Of the Gray Fortress." Whatever the heck that means!!

Leslie was ranked 143rd of popular names for girls on the 1990 census.

Another interesting tidbit. The 60's model Twiggy's real name was Leslie Hornby. My mom was called Twiggy in high school. I always thought that's where she got my name. But no, my father named me after an ex-girlfriend of his. Nice, huh?

Actually though, It gets more amusing.
I have a twin sister you see, and my mom didn't know she was having twins. so she decided that the name would be either 'Erik' or 'Erika' depending on gender. When they had twins they were in a quandery. They figured if they used 'Erik' AND 'Erika' then they would have a problem when they wanted to call one of us: Either both would arrive, or neither of us. Answer: my mom was reading Robin Hood at the time. And thought the names were kewl. So she named my sister Robin Erika, and myself Erik Locksley (the thought is: if i became a doctor or a lawyer, I could call myself E. Locksley, or, (and for a while this was more likely) if i became a truck driver, I could call myself RIK).

[Rachael]

Commentary:

In Jewish scripture, the patriarch Jacob was so taken by Rachel's beauty that he agreed to work seven years for the privilege of marrying her. Her father craftily substituted Rachel's older sister, Leah, at the wedding ceremony, but such was Jacob's love that he worked yet another seven years to add Rachel to his household.
Rachel has always been a favored name among Jews. Starting with the 17th-century Puritans, it has been consistently popular among Christians as well. It has even spawned a French-sounding variation -- Rachelle -- that is unknown in France.
