What is the "story" behind your name? How was it selected? Special meaning?

My name is "Natasha Lynn" - My mom had another named picked out for me, but when I was born, she said it didn't "fit". So she named me "Natasha" straight outta the baby name book. LOL They added "Lynn" to my name as my father's grandfather (My Great-Grandfather) passed away the day before I was born, his name was "Leonard'.

Mine is the female version of my dad's name Stephen. My middle name is "Marie" which was my mom's confirmation name. If I was a boy, my name was going to be Christopher.

My name is Jacqueline and my father named me after a friend of his whom was very dear to him.

Natasha, I like your story. The entire time I was pregnant for my daughter we were planning to name her Nutisha Ann but when she was born and they put her in my arms I looked at my husband and he looked at me and we both said to each other, "she looks like a Janet" so we named her Janet instead LOL

My middle name is from my godmother. I know many lovely women with the name but it's not one that I share publically for myself because I think it sounds stupid with my first name!

My eldest dil shares my same initials KLS...
We also share the same dreaded middle name....

My dd is named Rebecca because we had no intention of having a girl. We seemed to produce only boys. We worked long and hard on our boy name and as an after thought dh pulled the name Rebecca out of the air "just in case". I thought the odds were so long that why not... and there she was.. a Becky from the delivery room! I wanted to name her Rebekah like in the Bible but couldn't remember how to spell it so Rebecca she is. Or Becky.. or Auntie Beggie.. or Rebe.. or Beck.. or....

I was named after one of my dad's old girlfriends.

From what I recall - I wasn't actually there for the discussion and it doesn't make sense to me - Gail was picked out for my older sister but a neighbor had a daughter close to when my sister was to be born and she named her Gail. So my older sister is Denise and I'm Gail. The part that doesn't make sense is that my sister's friend Gail was born a month after my sister.

My middle name is after my Aunty Mildred who is also my Godmother. Love her.

My real name is Virginia. The only ones who ever call me that now are callers who don't know me. I can always tell immediately! She liked the name Ginny (original spelling which I changed for some reason in high school and it stuck cuz I like Ginni instead) and I'm a second generation Virginian so thus the first name. My middle name is Mae after my grandmom and aunt's middle names. Very Southern name don'tcha think? Ginni Mae? NOT to be confused with the stupid government company that helped cause the economic crisis!!! Grrrr!

I was named after both my grandmothers-one I didn't know at all as she had passed away long before I came along.Her name was Petronellia but dad gave me the name Petrucia but I've always spelled it Patricia.My middle name is Helen.I go by Pat.

LOVE your middle name pat!

I was named after my grandmother on my father's side. Ann is my middle name, picked just because.

I can tell who calls me too Ginni.. if they say "Is Helen Ann" there... I know it is family I haven't heard from in ages!

Helen is just fine!!!

I was named after a song that my Great Grandma loved. Not sure where my middle name came from but I don`t like it...Marie

I was named after my uncle's sister!
