I was named after the daughter of a Republican President! Which is an insult cuz they never asked me whether I wanted to be pro Dem or pro Rep.!!!! Therefore, I chose; Undecided :-\ or no party/independent! LoL! Now, that they're both retired, they're going to understand why, I lean towards the Dem party.  :wave:

My middle name is from my great grandfather on my mother's side.  It was going to be my first name, but my father wanted to do this play on it like F. Scott Fitzgerald did with his name and so, it became my middle name.  Of course, that play on the names never stuck, and I still go by my first name and not my middle name.

I'm named after my father... kinda. He actually changed his name from his given name to his name now. I was given the longer version of his name. So, I'm not a junior, but my name comes from a version of my fathers name.

Post by: linderlizzie on August 03, 2013, 08:20:58 am
My first name was picked out a favorite song of my mom's and popular back in the day.  :D

I believe my middle name is for one of my mom's aunts.  :-\

However, my dad REALLY wanted a boy and he wanted to name me Bruce.  :sad1:

I'm glad I turned out to be a girl. No offense to any Bruces out there.  :peace:

Anyway, my parents gave up after that and didn't have any more children, so I'm an only child. Everyone thinks I must be spoiled because of that.  :bs:

BTW, I was always asking my mom to have more kids but it was a no-go.   :'(

A woman in Clarksville, Tenneissee (where I was born) and I have the same first name, except my mother decided to be unique and added an "e" as the fourth letter in my first name and the other woman's first name is spelled without the e.  My sister is named after her aunt.  I named my daughter after both of her grandmothers, except I had to add four letters to make her middle name.  My brother is named after his father.  My youngest sister is named after my mother, but they have different middle names.  My mother was named after my great-grandmother. :o :o :o :wave:

I am named after Annette Funicello. When my mother was eight months pregnant with me my father was watching the Mickey Mouse show with my brothers and when they said their names he liked her name and he told my mother that if I was a girl he wanted to name me Annette. I have always thought that was cool.

I'm not named after anybody but my initials come from my father's name just reversed.  For example his initials are XYZ and mine are YXZ.  Actually when I think about it my middle name is sort of from my father's first name.
