Who were you named after?

[GodofDisaster]

If thread's been done before, sorry but as I always say in my posts I searched.

Who were you named after (am talking about your first name here) and why were you named after him or her.

I was named after my grandad from my dad's side of the family his name was James so they called me Jamie. I was named in his honor as he died about a week before I was born.

So who were you named after.

Examples:

Uncle:
Aunt:
Grandparent:
Other relative:
A close friend of the family.
No one my parents just called me (said name) because they felt like it.

so we basically have all the same names.
