My name, Stuart, is shared by my grandpa. One of my friends at work was named after Jenna from the TV show Dallas.

Strangely enough my mom named me after a character in a book she was reading when she was pregnant. She can't even remember the name of the book, but she said everytime she read the name she would stop and sigh because she thought it was so beautiful. (she's a little dramatic)

I was named after my mother's sister, who had passed away. It was kinda creepy to find that out.

Whats in a name - Why do we name our kids after other people?
I think I am the only kid in the family that is named after no one. My one sister was named after my Aunt. Once sister was named after my grandmother and my brother was named after my dad. I don't know why that happened. I'm kinda glad I wasn't named after anyone.
