Blair (my "real" name) is gaelic and means something like green field/field/battlefield (when used for the masculine, iirc)

And, apparently Analise means grace or favor.

Elennare

Elennare means star fire in Sindarin.

...ok, so, technically that's improper syntax and it actually reads "fire star," but I took a little poetic liberty because I liked Elennare better than Narelen.
