Names

[Paper Hearts]

I was named after Paul McCartney and when I was very young, my mother disclosed that too me with a warning that I should never relay that information to my dad. I could blackmail my mom or something, I presume, but, I don't really like my father (because he's a bastard).

I didn't name my daughter after anyone, I just picked a name that seemed very movie star-esque, because I was just all about that, at the time...her name is Chloe` Simone (and I wont post our surname name because I know how you people are).

Anyway, what I was wondering is, would anyone else like to bore everyone with the story of where their name comes from?

[Rayne]

My name is boring. I'm told I was named after my parents. My middle name makes sense, since it's my dad's name ... but my first is nowhere near my mothers name.

My kids weren't named after anyone in particular. Well, my oldest daughter's middle name was my best friends middle name at the time, she was my best friend for a very long time, but I doubt I'll ever tell anyone that.

Hrmph, it's not very interesting, I'm afraid. I'm Amanda Marie, I have the same initials as my grandfather, Atchison Morris. He was kind of a creep, so I don't really know why they decided to honor him that way. Or maybe they just didn't have very high hopes for me.

Yes, I'm in a highly dramatic mood today and have decided to enjoy it.

Oh, and speaking of Paul McCartney, I thought his name was Palma Cartney until I was like 5, much to the delight of my sister; I think she laughed at me for an entire day.

First name (allen) Was named after my grandfather's middle name, and my middle name (lee) was my Dad's middle name.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Mark Allan... just like just about every other male born from 1966 to 1968

[Shade Everdark]

Christopher was the only name my parents could agree on for a male, so it was pretty much that or nothing, for the two of them.

Loren, my middle name, is my father's name.

[BrassFusion]

Name's Gary.

hehehe... j/k, it's Erin Marie. Marie's probably the most common girl's middle name forever and ever and I'm not sure why. Prolly everyone likes the way stupid french names sound but don't have the balls to actually give their kid a french name.

[kellygrrrrrl]

My Mum was from a long line of Quinn's.

So she wanted to give me an Irish name.... :clover

My Middle name is My Great grandmothers middle name, her mothers, and my mothers as well!

And yours too I'm sure...

Marie.

I like that you followed my lead and did not quip something about the name "Ringo"; that did not go unappreciated.

Loren, my middle name, is my father's name.

Loren is a great name. One of my best friends (he lives in Georgia and I'll be visiting him soon!) is Loren.

My name has nothing special to it. Unless you count the fact that I share the same first and last name as Marilyn Manson. However, I do have 3 middle names.

In full, Brian Roy John Marshall Warner.... My parents couldn't decide on 1 middle name so they gave me the names of my dad's father, my mother's grandfather, and my dad's grandfather (which is also my dad's name) - all in that order.

edit- Also, in Chinese culture it's believed the more names you give your child, the more loved they are. This was one of their reasons for my ridiculously long name. And my sister only has one middle name - HA!

[Soulrev]

Yep... I've Ben Woody for almost 26 years now.

ROFL... Sorry... But that's fuckin hilarious.

[Nevaeh]

my mom got Erica from this old miniseries called How the West Was Won...i'm named after a nurse character.

Ann is just a common name in both sides of the family, so i got it for my middle name.

[Saephyr]

Cat came form Catherin which was me being named after my Mumzy's baby sis who is her best friend..I had to deal with KITTEN all my young life and b 4 that I was fkn Pookie!!! Y aknow..Pookie the lion from Soupy Sales show? Yea...I was supposedly QAUIET as a youngster at 1 point

LOL

[DeadBurgerKing (10)]

Nothing special bout mine...I am the jr. of my asshole father...changing my name at the first oppurtune moment...

[mallochai]

My parents were never very clear on why my first name is Anna. Nobody in either side of my family has the same name. My mom's name is Donna, so I guess it's kind of similar, but uh... whatever.

My middle name is Marie. They wanted to name me after both of my grandmothers, but Anna Mary sounded too religious, so I got the juvey twist on that one.

Actually, my brother got an interesting name with family relations.

My fathers name is Robert Sayers, and my middle brothers name is Robert Sayer. Family name.

We're descentdents of this guy, otherwise known as the Saint of the Wilderness.

Oh, and there's a movie.

Go for a Beatle's name, mate. You still have George, John or Ringo.

[Msterbeau]

I'm not sure why I got the name Marc. Probably because my parents realized fairly quickly after my older brother was born that Francois is not a good name to have in the US. (Pronounciation-wise, anyways.) My middle name is my maternal grandfather's.

I had no idea that a saint could sleep with people. I suppose I'm still in the running, then.

Interesting, because one of my grandmothers was from Quebec and her given name was Minnie and she changed her name to, yes, Marie, becuase she thought she was too French seeming, here. I don't understand it either.

Who do you know who has been blessed with sainthood? I bet you ten rupies I can get into their pants faster.

:grin

[DarkVampire]

My father named me after one of his heros when he was growing up. My middle name is the same as my father. Just like his middle is is fathers. Must be a family thing.

I don't know of any live saints. I know of two dead people who may receive canonization, one is Mother Theresa and the other is Father Solanus Casey, but I'm not into that.

[Steven]

My name is Steven.

I have no middle name.

I was not named after anyone, I just looked like a Steven.

It's grown on me after all these years....
