Re: Happy Namesake Day!

  • I'll go - My dad is a musician, and I was named after the Allman Brothers song "Sweet Melissa".  (My sisters both are named after songs, too!)

  • Well, I am kid # 6, and after 2 boys then 3 girls, parents were convinced I was to be a boy- named James Patrick. Why they didn't just name me Jamie I don't know.  I went nameless for a day until they decided I looked like my brother Michael, so I was named Michelle.

  • No namesake here - just happy I wasn't a boy or I would have been named after my dad's friend Rodney. 

    Yeah, NMS.  ;-)

  • I am named after my grandmothers Lorraine and Eileen.  Put them together and you get...  Loreen! 
  • My dad is named Mark and he was called Marky or Markus all through grade school and hated it. His goal with naming my sister and I was to come up with names that were un-nickname-able. I ended up with Lauren.
  • Sad  but true,.....I am named after the Stephen King novel turned movie Christine.....the one where the car goes insane and kills people.........my dad all the way.....my mom didnt know thats where it came from til after the fact. 
  • No namesake for me (other than I know my grandfather loves my name because he's Scottish and loves the hillsides of Heather there).

     It's also Dr. Seuss Day!!! :) We are celebrating in school. Love it!

  • I'm named after Olivia Newton-John.  After my parents saw Grease, they loved her name, so they decided to use it for me. 
  • I don't think my first name is after anything/anyone, but my middle name is the same as my deceased aunt's middle name.  She was my Mom's sister who passed away before I was born.

  • Well I guess the whole Luke and Laura fiasco was going on on General Hospital right around the time my parents were picking names.  Also my mom watched a lot of Little House on the Prarie so I think being surrounded by Laura's they decided to go with it.  Glad they did.  If I had been a boy, I would have been John Louis.  I like Laura better.

  • My parents got my name from a friend of theirs.  Her name was Amy and they really liked it.  My boy name was Andrew, which I guess would have been fine too.  They liked 'A' names apparently because my sister is Angela.  

    I was supposed to be Amy Jo, after my dad because his first name is Joseph, but my dad wouldn't let my mom do it, he got mad and refused!  I don't know why.  Since I heard that story I've always wanted to name my future son Joseph, and I won't let my dad tell me no!

  • I am totally late on this.  I am not named after anyone, but my grandmother named me.  She liked the name Tiffany so my mom named me that.  If I was a boy I would have been named Damien.
