your name

That's a bit risky for the kid who is helpless to argue with what kind of name he or she would get on whatever that father might see. What if, the very moment the father went out, he stepped on something bad and smelly? Also, upon christening, the priest would even insist on adding a Christian name on the child which the eldest in the family experienced. We don't even get to mention his Christian name anyway. Next was my eldest sister. She got her name from a lead character in a novel that my father was reading when my mom was having her. I guess the characteristics of the heroine was what my father wanted my eldest sister to have. My second brother that followed her took the name of my father so, we all call him Jr for being the junior. Oddly, we would often hear junior for the last kid but, that didn't end there. Second sister's name got her's by arranging the name of my mom backwards so, she's one of those few people who might only have the name that she has now. Third brother's name was taken from Pope John Paul II but, of course when he was not yet the Pope. His name would be mistaken for a girl's name.

I know, right? I don't know if they still do it like all the time, or if it's even true. It might be some story that was concocted by the DJ. So, your third brother's name is Karol? You guys have such cool name origins. You could go on and on about how you and your siblings got your names. :)

that's interesting. i wonder who that celebrity is. :) your father's way reminded me of how native americans name their children. at least from what i heard in the radio. they say that right after the child's birth, the father goes out of the house (or the hospital, i guess) and then the first thing he sees, that's what he name the child after. like the musician, eagle eye cherry. i don't know if that's true though. i haven't checked yet. :)

Oh, Christine Jacob the swimmer? I guess your name must be Kristine since your user name is 'Kparaino'. :)

My best friend has the same name. Different reasons though. :)

yes, the swimmer! yep, your right, my name is kristine. :)

That's good, that you love your name, I mean.

Well, at least you get to use the nickname that you really want. :)

Oh, that's cool. You'll always be a reminder of the generous heart your mom has. :)

yes indeed

this was great!!! hope you got your mother's generousity! :)

Well, I guess we are all born into the world. :)

so your parent split your grandmothers' names between you and your sister. that's nice. :)

oh, that's sad. i wish you wouldn't think that way though. he's still your father, and that ought to mean something.

I have a very unique name. At least my full name, that is. Even my first name used to be unique. I would often be mistaken for a boy when I only use that name. These days though, a lot of girls has that name, some even has the same spelling as mine.

oh yeah, that's an honor, all right. usually the eldest gets that honor, right? :)

well, you can be like her, right? i hope that works out well for you.
