Misc Your real name

**luv** · 01-04-2009, 05:43 PM

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.

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.

UteChief · 01-04-2009, 05:49 PM

I too am named after my dad.

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

**Baby Lee** · 01-04-2009, 05:51 PM

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.

**The Franchise** · 01-04-2009, 05:56 PM

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