Who were you named after?
 
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

Gary, after fierce people.

Shaun 23-12-2009 05:22 AM

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 23-12-2009 05:25 AM

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 23-12-2009 05:41 AM

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.

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

Captain.Remy 23-12-2009 08:09 AM

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 23-12-2009 08:48 AM

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

CiaraD 23-12-2009 09:18 AM

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 23-12-2009 09:44 AM

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.

snap :shocked::shocked::shocked:

Firewire 23-12-2009 09:49 AM

lmao Tom & Fom.

No idea who I was called after.

Marc 23-12-2009 09:52 AM

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 23-12-2009 10:01 AM

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.

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 23-12-2009 11:07 AM

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 23-12-2009 11:17 AM

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 23-12-2009 11:35 AM

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 23-12-2009 11:50 AM

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.
