Who were you named after?

[Jords]

State your name and either who you were named after or why you were called that, might be interesting :)

Jordan - named after Michael Jordan the basketball player.

My brother is called Brandon, and he is named after Brandon Lee from the film 'The Crow', as it is one of the last films my mum watched before having birth to him.


You can also say other options you would have been called, and names if you were the opposite sex if you wish!

Other boy names: None
Girl names: Jade or Sky

:D

[MrGaryy]

Gary, after fierce people.

[Shaun]

Apparently my Dad was a big speedway fan [well, I know he was] and there was a racer called Shaun Loram or something? That's where he got the idea.

My mum wanted to call me Scott D:

[Jords]

Oh cool Shaun! I didnt have any other option names for a boy, but if I was a girl, Id either be called Jade or Sky lol!

[bettiepage]

I have the same name as my dad and my middle name is the same as my dad's brother, whom I've never met as he's dead. Clearly weren't creative.

[Shaun]

Oh cool Shaun! I didnt have any other option names for a boy, but if I was a girl, Id either be called Jade or Sky lol!

I like those names, better than my girl-alternative...*shudders*: MEGAN. D:

[Captain.Remy]

My parents couldn't agree on my name because my mum wanted to call me Angelo and my Dad, Dimitri or Boris. Therefore they chose a very very French one: Rémy.

If I was a girl, they would have called me Marina, it works either way in Russian and in Italian.

[Stephanie]

dunno, i think they just liked the name. i was nearly called chloe haha.

[CiaraD]

My mum had Ciaran picked out for a boy so she just changed it to Ciara.
Other names I could've been called were Niamh and Eva :)

[Fom]

I was named after 'Thomas the Tank Engine'... seriously. Apparently my older brother and sister were watching it while they were coming up with names.

[Tom]

snap :shocked::shocked::shocked:

[Firewire]

lmao Tom & Fom.

No idea who I was called after.

[Marc]

I was named after Marc Bolan, lead singer of T. Rex.

Mum is a huge fan. However they considered Kevin (:/) because all 3 of my sisters names begin with a K and they wanted to fit me in with that. But thankfully I didn't

EDIT: Oh and one of my middle names is my fathers name!

[Firewire]

Kinda same with me Marc.

I begin with J then my brother was born and they called him Jay.

Then my 2 sisters were born and both their names begin with an S, Stephanie & Sophie.

[Jessica.]

My mother picked Michelle Christine before I was born but she had an emergency caesarian under anaesthetic so she was asleep. My father had to name me straight away because I was very sick when I was born, I had fluid in my lungs so I almost died and my heart stopped twice. He picked Jessica Louise :D I love my name! I hate the name Michelle!

[King Gizzard]

My parents couldn't think of a name for me then one morning my mum looked out of the window a lorry with the name ''Nathan'' on it (it was a delivery lorry) came passed. lol


my middle name (ad I just asked my dad last night) was this kid in canada, he was a native, (bit like the native americans) and he was terminally ill, so my dad decided to give his name to me, Kasai. (as much as that sounds like total bullshit I can assure you it's not)

[Stu]

I was named Stuart after Stuart Adamson from the bang Big Country. A decade later Stuart was found hanging in his Hawaii apartment coming out the worse in a battle with alcohol addiction.

The omens are good.

[Tom4784]

I'm named after James Dean, originally It was gonna be a double barrelled name but my mother thought it was a bad omen so she had it changed to Dean. She wanted Richard or Thomas. My second name (Samuel) is after my Grandad.

[Princess]

My mum said she had Laura picked out since she was like 16,she convinced my dad he liked the name all along too,lol! My middle name Simone,they both just liked as well. I took Julia as my confirmation name after my granny.

[Jessica.]

Aww bless Simone is unusual. I don't have a middle name!

[Beastie]

I like the names Henry, Harry, Kevin and Brian for boys!

[Princess]

Loads of people are convinced I'm gonna name my kids after TT,which is not gonna happen :p I like the name James Philip(after my uncle) for a boy.

[Jessica.]

Aww Jessica! I am happy you are alive now :D I used to like the name Michelle but recently the name gets on my nerves for some reason.

[MissKittyFantastico]

I hate the name Michelle!

Charming! :bawling:

I love my name, my Dad was a mad Beatles fan so he named me after the song 'Michelle' by them and I wouldn't change it for the world. I would have been Michael if I was a boy or Gavin as my mum liked that name too.

I have the same middle name as you Laura! :shocked: Have never met anyone else with the same before lol.

[Jessica.]

I have a really good friend called Michelle I just think that name wouldnt suit me is all.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Lol it's ok I was only messing. Jessica wouldn't suit me either but I don't mind the name. It's funny how we think we suit some and not others....everyone always says I 'look like a Michelle' lol what does that even mean :laugh:

[Patrick]

Patrick/Paddy is cool :thumbs:

[Noel]

My mum thought she was having a girl, so she told my dad that if it was a boy, he could name him, and if it was a girl, she could name her.
She had a boy.
So I was named after my father. I could have been called Declan.
I suppose if I was a girl, I would have been named Sinéad, because that's my sister's name lol.

[Princess]

[Jords]

[bronaaaa]

Brona
Ahm I don't think I was named after anyone..it means sorrow though D:
And it was Ciaran if I was a boy

[GypsyGoth]

You're lucky, my name means lame/disabled :(

[Princess]

You're lucky, my name means lame/disabled :(

My surname(Bolger) means yellow belly! I think Laura is from the plant(?) Laurel.

[setanta]

Cuchulainn

[Jords]

You're lucky, my name means lame/disabled :(

Aww Im sure your parents didnt know that before they picked it! lol

[GypsyGoth]

Aww Im sure your parents didnt know that before they picked it! lol

Haha, you never know with my mom.

And I think Brona and Laura are beautiful names. Plus Laura after someone gets a divorce and you marry them, you could have the second name Owen :)

[Marc]

I really like the name Kevin. Marc sounds much more cooler with a "c" at the end :D I love T rex! :D

Yeah it makes me different :P I love T Rex as well, kind of had to whilst growing up but I can't complain! Just widens my musical interests a little more than they already are! Such a shame he died so early.

[Princess]

Haha, you never know with my mom.

Oh I love Laura,just not Bolger,lol! Mark won't be getting divored,I wouldn't mind being Laura Orange though :p

[Z]

I was going to be named after my grandad (Reginald) but they decided Reginald was cruel, so they were going to call me Reg and decided that was cruel too, so they stuck a G on the front. I kid you not. Also, the man died long before I was born and was apparently a prize arsehole. Wooohooo.

[LemonJam]

It's a family name, it has to be either the first or second name.

I think it's a **** name and I'm raging against the machine that is my family, **** you i won't do what you tell me and all that bollocks.
