Misc Your real name - Page 4

**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 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.

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.

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

**Bowser** · 01-04-2009, 07:52 PM

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.

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."

**Nzoner** · 01-04-2009, 08:24 PM
