Who are you named after?

I am not 100% sure as to who I am named after. I share the same initials as my great-grandfather and I share the same middle name as my grandfather, who is still alive and well today. My first name is Jonathan and my other grandfather, who passed away in 2003, his name is Jon. So it's highly probable that I was named after him too.

 

Basically, I am named after one of my great-grandfathers and both of my grandfathers.

So who are you named after,

 

The man who introduced my father to the woman he'd leave my mother for.

 

How'd you like to be saddled with that baggage? To say nothing of the fact that it's just not a very good name to begin with.

My name is Jade.

My mom's grandfather used to own a rock shop that she would go into every now and then after school and look at all the rocks and stones and gems he had in there. She said Jade was one of her favorite. Coincidentally enough my eyes turned out to be green as well. A Jade color.

My name is Alec and I've heard rumors of other Alec's existing, but never met one. Only famous ones I know are Alec Baldwin and Alec Guiness (Obi-Wan in the original Star Wars).

 

Not sure if I was named after someone, or if my parents just ran out of good names (I'm the youngest of 4 boys).

Originally gonna be named after Rikki Rocket. Then it got stolen by a family member (thank f*ck). Then my mum had a dream that I was a boy and my name and it stuck.

 

So in a weird way, the name came from me? Ha

Not a person but my Mom wanted to stay close to her roots (Irish) and so I was named Callan, it's Gaelic for 'powerful in battle'.

My Dad wanted to call me Stacey after a hot nurse he met whilst my Mom was in labour. Thank f*ck my Mom didn't put up with that bullsh*t.

My name is mythical. Kāśyapa, is one of the ancient Buddhas whose biography is chronicled in chapter 24 of the Buddhavamsa, one of the books of the Pāli Canon. In the vedas, it is the name of a sage in Hindu mythology, one of the Saptarishis: 7 sages who re-established the world after the great flood.

Parents had said that it meant "the father of the sun". My surname literally translates to gyaani or knowledgeable. f*ckin chains and shackles of knowledge.

 

You're not your name. You have one.

Michael San Fernandez. My parents gave this name to me because it seemed Good & Stylish to them. But I prefer St rather than San.

I'm named after nobody

My name is a reference to Jesus Christ though, but my parents didn't gave me my name for that purpose.

I was going to be named Dale, after the famous NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, but for some reason I was named Mitchell instead.

 

I have two middle names, and those are the names of my two grandfathers.

I was named after a car brand, of all possible things... (Allard).

 

At least I can get keychains and mugs with my name on it now, despite having a rather uncommon name.

My name is Ismar. Origin is unknown but my aunt told me it derived from names Ismet and Marija (eng. Marry) (Ism-ar or Is-mar)

Not sure, but i am still called "Mateo", which is the original name i had, the family name i originally had was changed though.

 

That being said, Mateo does mean "gift to god" it seems....
