Your real name
 

Not asking you to reveal your true identity. Just wondering if you have any interesting stories about why your parents gave you the name they gave you. I was talking with my dad, and he mentioned that, around the time I was born, he went to the bank and liked a teller's name. It was LuRita. Thank goodness my mom didn't like it. However, that is why my first name has two capital letters. Also, If I was a boy, my name would have been Mark Jeffrey after my dad's two best friends he had in the army.

My middle name is Wade. My mom couldn't remember the planned name of Wayne so they changed it when I was born. Never really understood why Wade was easier to remember than Wayne. :spock:

First name, paternal grandpa
Middle name, maternal grandpa
Real original, considering they are each seperately two of the most common names on earth, as is my surname.

Have a buddy, whose family tradition going back 100s of years is to name the firstborn male with the father's middle name first, middle name from his first name, so they alternate though generations.

ie, John James, father of James John, father of John James, only a tad more esoteric.

I am named after my dad.

My dad insisted I be named after his pet monkey. Later, my mom let me pick a nickname to get away from the beatings I took in kindergarten on the playground being named Baboo.

I too am named after my dad.

a " good irish name" was what I got from my grandma at least. Though I was almost named Zek

Well, that's better than Picabo

I have no idea what my mom was thinking when she named me Bugeater.

Who knows how someone comes up with something like Tripp?

I actually thought that was my real name until I was 8. When I finally figured out they were mocking me when in front of the neighbors they kept hiding behind there hands and yelled Picabo all the time in front of the me. I finally got the joke.

Don't know how my parents knew I would end up in denver and still be a Chiefs fan.

Both my first name and middle name are considered to be good "Catholic" names.

Named after my dad, but no one even calls me by m y real name. ya know, i dont think in 32 years i have ever heard my mom call me by my real first name. lol

My mom liked the name Brian and I got stuck with her last name.

My name is Raphael (Ray for short) Or ray dog Raydizzle Millertime. My parents were both high...very high. My dad was in a band all through high school and had a Mustang II which he had to sell when he had two kids. He still talks about that car today, that and how Kansas is the best band ever.

Did you ever tell him that the Mustang II was just a Pinto with different body panels?

Named after my father and grandfather.

oh he knows. In fact his pinto GT was actually faster of the two. He had racing stripes on his pinto and he claims he would "blow" the doors off of other cars with his sleeper. If I could get a scanner I could show you pics of both cars.

THE STOOLSPRAYER was given to me at a young age. I have no idea why.

No way that Pinto had a stock motor then. Even the GT with a manual transmission couldn't get out of it's own way. Not to mention blowing doors off of anything other than a Datsun B210.

pinto muscle
 

This car has some f-ing muscle (dazed and confused voice)

My mother was distraught when she learned she was pregnant. It was unexpected, and she and my father were both very young. My dad walked in the room, and she slowly lifted her head, red eyed and with a very weak voice, she whispered, "I don't know how this could have happened..."

My dad boldly proclaimed, "DeezNutz, that's how!"

The rest is history.

Just draw me some pics in MS Paint.

he's probably fos then which is completely true. Although my grandpa had my dad when he was like 40, my grandma died shortly there after so my dad basicly worked on houses, cars, and CCR in his garage all day through hs

Monza own ju.

God Fearing Smith?

First name is after my Aunt
Middle name is after a family Surname
Last name, I got no choice, but recently contemplated changing it to match my stepfathers as a way of showing my admiration.

I was almost named "Hobart" after my grandfather, who at the time offered my parents $1000.00 which in 1975 was a good amount of dough. Luckily I got the good american name of Barack Hussein.....well the first part is true.

I'm still not for sure where they got my first name from, only why it has the two capital letters. My middle name is my mom's mom's name. It will not get handed down.

I asked my mom one time and she said it was from a character in a book she was reading at the time.
In case you haven't guessed it's Alan. :D

I was at a Walgreens in Baltimore a few years ago. The cashier's name tag said "Latrina". I suppose her parents didn't know what a latrine was when they named her.

And the answer to your question is yes.

Are you sure you didn't acquire that as a young child?:D

My first name is for my mother's brother who was tragically killed by a drunk driver before I was born.
My middle name "Lewis" is because my mom loved Jerry Lewis movies, we are talking early 60's here.

8+1= :D

:redface:



LMAO

Is your mother French?

why didn't they put frerotte in a long time ago

Childress in an idiot. And this is the wrong thread.

Oh my. LMAO

i say my good sir or madam, are you chuckling at something silly i've said on a message board? oh, i do declare, just wait until your day comes... upon it's coming, you shall have your come-uppance. i do declare.

My day came before yours did, I'm afraid.

Nope, but she did have a weird sense of humor.

my word, for the life of me i can't remember when you have ever said anything silly. whatever do you mean?

Now that is the question we should all be asking.

My first name was my Grandfathers middle name and my middle name was my Grandfathers first name.....weird huh?

My Mom and Dad named me after a book in the Bible....I used to think that was pretty cool until my Grandpa told me how I truly got my first name.

He told me that the family was having a hard time agreeing on what to name me...my Mom wanted one thing, my dad another, my paternal Grandparents something altogether different....

Suddenly, just outside the hospital room window they all heard a hairlip dog barking.. "mark, mark, mark"....and thus I was named.

mmaddog
*******

1st and middle is David Lester. Lester was my mom's stepdads name. It was my dads choice. My mom wanted to name me Richard Bradley.

I was named after a Roman emperor. Seems odd considering that my family is neither Catholic or Italian. Unfortunately, it was one of the really unpleasant ones, too.

i bet it's a lot of trouble to spell Lucius Ahenobarbus to people over the phone

I was named after Nicholas II, the last czar of Russia. Either that or they just randomly picked a name.

Caligula?

My middle name is the last name of the doctor who delivered my father.

Was there a Dongerius?

My Mom was Born in Ireland. One of us kids had to be named Patrick (actually, the Birth Certificate reads Padraig)............................

First name after my dad's dad. Middle name after my mom's dad.

My name is Turkish. Funny name for an Englishman, I know. My parents to be were on the same plane when it crashed. That's how they met. They named me after the name of the plane. Not many people are named after a plane crash. That's Tommy. He tells people he was named after a gun, but I know he was really named after a famous 19th century ballet dancer.

After a secondary character in a 80's tv show

I was named after a member of the Lutheran church in Kansas City who sponsored my grandmother and her family's relocation to the U.S. after the holocaust and then soviet occupation. That's also why they relocated to Kansas City once they got to the U.S. Oddly enough my father had glimpsed his future mother in law while stationed in post war Germany. It had caused quite a stir when she arrived in one of the east/west German border town's there, because in those days female physicians were quite rare.

I was named after the Apple iPod, only it's trademarked so they had to spell it "eyePod."

First name, paternal grandpa
Middle name, maternal grandpa and father's middle name

My name is <a href="http://dailyremedy.blogspot.com/2007/03/wake-up-to-arun.html">Arun. Here's the story.</a> It means "The morning Sun" in India.

I got my grandfathers' middle names, "Robert" and "Alan".

I could've got their first names... then I'd be "Sigfred Francis".

I'll take "Robert Alan".

no shit, really? I am too. same birthday, both 'jr.'

weird shit.

Nero.

My middle name is Clark. My dad named me that because General Mark Clark was his commander in Korea. He did 2 years, mostly fighting against Chinese in the US Army 24th Infantry.

He was drafted, but went in, did his service, and got out.

My 2 older brothers got the family names. My mom said she liked Terry (y for guy) and my older brother liked Max. Said he'd never met a Max he didn't like.

Hey, Robin.

My middle name was the first name in the title of a popular 70's tv show.

Alice?

Think Milwaukee.

Laverne?

Yep.

You're kidding.

My grandmother was a twin. Their names were Fern and Laverne.

I don't have a name anymore. I'm known now just as a symbol. A beautiful symbol of a big huge hairy bear on it's hind legs roaring after devouring it's prey. I'm the chiefs planet poster previously known as Bwillie007. Mods..please change my handle. Thanks

You look more like a rat than a bear.

...and you claim that SHTSPRAYER isn't your mult?

In some cultures, eating food that has been touched by rats is considered a blessing from god.

I didn't think anyone actually used the name Laverne.

It's definitely a very old name. I come across it sometimes when I'm indexing medical records. Always someone very very old. No disrepect to my grandmother, but I definitely won't be passing it along.
