My mom named me after a person in a book seres she liked.But I relly hate my name I wish it was something diffrent.

I was actually named after the cartoon Veronica and Archie. I dont know how many remember that cartoon thou.. lol Way better then what my mom wanted to name me thou, thank goodness she didnt name me what she was going to!!

Hi happythoughts, my dad loves flowers whereas my mom favorites the color of red. So I have the name of the combination of flower and color. My dad chose the flower which usually will bloom in the winter season. We always can see these flowers blooming in white and red color in the snowy days. My mom loves me so much of course she picked the red one as my name posting and have a nice day.

No, not that I am aware of. And looking back on my family tree there has never been anyone with my name. Which makes it unique, even if it is plain and basic at the same time.

I am named after my grandmother, Eva. My middle name is Marie, for Mary. I am catholic and back in the day (not sure if they still do this), but usually a Catholic child's middle name was taken from a saint. I used to totally hate my name as a kid. I thought it was weird and no one else had a name like mine. Now, as an adult, I have come to appreicate that it's not something you hear every day and I am honored to be named after my grandmother, who passed away 8 years ago.

I so wish I was named after someone the I got my name was because it ryhmed with my siblings names. When I first learned that I was shocked and to make it even more mean kids at school say that name doesn even fit my character they all end in the say thin: "you look more like a vanessa" that is so wrong on so many levels lol.

I am named after my dad.

Well, my first name isn't really. From what I have been told, a friend of my parents suggested my first name and they really liked it. But they decided that my middle name would be their friend's name, as she suggested my first name. So, technically, my first name isn't, but my second name is, to a certain extent.

I was actually named after a little girl that my mom babysat for when she was a teenager. She said she always loved the little girl's name and she wanted to name her daughter that, so she did. Happy MyLotting!

Hi! I was named after my father and my grandfather.. and I think that I'll give my name to my son when the time comes.. My name is the most common that exist and if someone uses my name, always a nickname is invented..

I'm named after my dad. My first name and middle name is like the girl version of his first name.

Hi happythoughts My name came from a Vc Andrews book Heaven most people would think it to have came from the bible/our good lord but no my mother doesnt believe in god and she got my name out of a book heaven leigh

I know that I wasnt named after anyone although my name is different. My name is September Ann. My middle name though did come from my mom's middle name. The reason I got the name I did is because my mom had gotten pregnant at 17 and my grandma was upset but she said the only way she could forgive my mom is if the baby was a girl, she would get to name her and guesse what I was a girl...lol But I love my name it is a special name that is so different from everyone else's name.

I have no idea, but my mom told me that my name was given by my grandma. She named me Noel so that I wouldnt have difficulty in writting my name.

Yes. I was named after the youngest daughter of a friend of my parents.

Well My name was going to be off a soap opera, but my father named me, so it's what he thought of as a first name, with my mother's middle name as my middle name.

I was also wondering where did my parents got my name...they told me that they got my name from a famous basketball star of their time.But i know that the real meaning of my name is happiness.So i'm happy and glad that they give me this name.Actually my real name is "JOY".

I think not. But I've named my daughters after someone. My daughter Maris was named after a pretty actress here in the Philippines whose name is Mariz. She's the wife of an action star whose name is Ronnie Ricketts. When I was pregnant, Mariz is very visible on TV and I found her so pretty and modest, prim and proper, so I decided to name my daughter from her. My youngest daughter got her name also from a teen actress whose name is Mariel. I also find her pretty and plus she got an initial M that's one of my qualifications.

My mom and Aunt both had my name and my cousins in mind .But,they had my name as my cosusins and vise vera.My cousin and I do have the same middle name.
