What's in a Name?  |
|
I was just in PM, with a friend here in mylot, and he said something about my real name that was intuitive and spot on. My real name is Tammi for those of you who do not know it and thanks to Minnie some of us are introducing ourselves today! A question just popped into my head that I thought might be fun and interesting to see what kind of stories you all might have behind why you were named what you were. Just something to learn a little bit more about each other.
I have 2 older sisters 11 years and 10 years older. When my mother was pregnant with me she refused to even entertain the thought she might be having yet another girl. My name was to be Gary Franklin. When I was born, and a girl at that, my mother in her delirium cursed her doctor and from the stories I have heard he was the lowest kind of slime on earth... LMAO like it was his fault I was a girl...
When my mother was recovered and laying in the hospital room, the song by Debbie Reynolds began to play "Tammi's in love", so by golly thats what my name is!
What interesting stories or not so interesting stories are behind your names? Hey make one up even.

Angelwhispers (4595) | 2 years ago | BlackBriar, i could not help but hear the story of my name over and over again. When I was 6 she finally had her Gary Franklin. Thank goodness, I cannot imagine what that sister might have been named or gone through had he actually been a she again.

4. Goodie123 (7548) | 2 years ago | Well I am going to have to make up a story Angel. I have no idea why my mother named me Nola.
Now I am not good at making up stories so here we go.
I was born approx 1 and a half months after christmas. My mother had, had such a wonderful christmas she wanted a boy and was going to name him Noel. Well low and behold she had a beautiful little girl "Me". As I was a girl she could not possibly name me Noel, so she had a sudden inspiration and called me Nola, the closet she could get to Noel.

Angelwhispers (4595) | 2 years ago | Rotflmao,,,,, Good one Goodie. That is such a cool story I believe it!

Adelida2233 (917) | 2 years ago | Haha. A girl I went to school with named Noel for the same reason as your story. I beleive her birthday was the 28th. Lol, I love that you came up with a story since you didnt have one. Awesome!

9. GardenGerty (20217) | 2 years ago | I was named for Heather Angel, the British, and later American actress. My middle name is not Angel, however, as my mom said that if you name a child angel, sure enough it would act like the devil. My grandmother on my dad's side hated my name, until she saw a photo spread about Heather Angel.
| |
| |
|
|
Angelwhispers (4595) | 2 years ago | Gerty, I do not know this Heather Angel, and it might make a decent look up for me one day soon. But I simply Adore the name Heather. For a while when I was a child ever doll I had was named heather. There Was Heather, Heather1, Heather ann LMAO Ect.... I ran out of middle names before I moved on to a different first name altogether.
