Default 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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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 I love my name! I hate the name Michelle!

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)

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.

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.
