Who were you named after?

[DigitalSushi]

My name is Sush, my dad was sooooo fucking drunk, he told everyone I was a girl.

He was also extremely drunk when my Mother gave birth to my sister, to the point he declared he was a dad on the 14th of july (she's born on the 15th), and 3 other people in my family are born on the 14th (aunts and uncles), so for 30 years my sister has lived a lie in front of her own family because they are so proud they share the same birthday.

Dozy prats.

 

[countkillalot]

I was named after a tree...I wish I was kidding...

 

[Psyco Slim]

I was named after a character from an Eddie Murphy movie from the 80's

Spoiler

Prince Akeem from "Coming to America" just take out the "prince" part

 

[TheBarefootBandit]

Apparently my older brother seeing as how there's only one letter difference between my name and his.

 

[Blackmagic1515]

After Karen Carpenter the singer. My dad just changed the K to a C. Apparently it was the first name to come to mind since thats who he liked at the time. My middle name is the same as my mum's, and her mum's and her mum's and so on and so forth.

 

[skcseth]

Adam & Eve's third (fourth? second?) son in the Bible. At least that's what they tell me. I still think my parents just chose some random name and found out a week later it was in the Bible.

 

[Just_Karol]

Karol Józef Wojtyła, you can be impressed later?

 

[G1eet]

My late aunt's bastard son.

I don't mean it pejoratively; he was the result of a broken condom when she was in high school, and decided to give him up for adoption.

He still doesn't know he's adopted, at the ripe age of 22, I believe.

 

[ThreeWords]

My father, TwoWords

Honestly, I'm named after my grandfather, and my name mean protector of desire (cookie for working it out)

 

[Aloran]

After both my grandparents.

Grandfather on mum's side name: Scott John
Grandfather on father's side name: John Scott

My name: Scott John

meh

Scott's also a traditional name in my family.

 

[Mattteus]

named after the apostle Matthew (everyone in my family has a biblical name).

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Grandfather from my mothers side, gave me my two middle names.

 

[Woburn]

I am not named after anyone, but my middle name is after my uncle. My dad wanted to name me Kelly, after the kid from Bad News Bears...good thing my mom wouldn't let him.

 

[LockHeart]

Well my parents just liked Luke, but I have my grandfathers' first names as my middle names.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

I wasn't named after anybody. I was given a completely random name. In fact, nobody in my family has been called Connor or Joseph for about 3 generations, and I can't be bothered to look any further.

 

[NeedAUserName]

Both my grandfathers, got both their first names, and both their last.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Some old lady my mum knew who used to give me £1 when she saw me :/
When I was in my mum's tummy I was called Lyndsay Elizabeth, but when I popped out I became Emily Emilee Victoria.
