Unfortunately, I am not named for anyone in particular. What I have been told is that my family fought over what to name me. They all wanted me named after this person or that. So my mother picked a name that named me after no one. End of fighting....

Hi Yarntales,
I'm sorry for your mother. yes, you right, we sometimes don't ask our parents informations that in successive years we consider important. In fact I often go to my grandmother who is 90 years old and ask her a lot of things about my parents and my grandparents, I'm a very curious person.
I am named for my grandfather, like my sister who's the name of my grandmother.
