Meaning of Names

We were talking at work about the meaning of names, which made me want to look up my own.
Becky - means "bound" Hmmmmm. bound up? bound to? Whatever is that supposed to mean.
So I look up "bound" on Dictionary.com and this is what I find:

–verb

1.	pt. and pp. of bind.

–adjective

2.	tied; in bonds: a bound prisoner.

3.	made fast as if by a band or bond: She is bound to her family.

4.	secured within a cover, as a book.

5.	under a legal or moral obligation: He is bound by the terms of the contract.

6.	destined; sure; certain: It is bound to happen.

7.	determined or resolved: He is bound to go.

8.	Pathology. constipated.

9.	Mathematics. (of a vector) having a specified initial point as well as magnitude and direction. Compare free (def. 31).

10.	held with another element, substance, or material in chemical or physical union.

11.	(of a linguistic form) occurring only in combination with other forms, as most affixes. Compare free (def. 34).

I think #8 is my personal fave. Whatever.

Which brings me into dragging everyone else with me into this. ha ha ha.
