How did you get your name?

I got my name, Neil, because my father wanted me to have a name that couldn't be shortened, and because my family name is Scottish he wanted me to have a forename that was also Scottish. My son was named after his mother's father, Raymond, and my father, Owen.

My mther always told me she loved the name Susan since she was a little girl. My older kids name my daughter when she was born. She was named after a character in Sonic the Hedgehog. LOL, but it's cute. Julie Sue.

My mother told me that I was named after my grandmother from a greek name Demetria, and my nickname came from the first words of my grandmother and grandfather's names.According to the book of names and it's meaning my name means "goddess of fertility".

Okay here is my story. My parents hadn't thought of a name for me during the pregnancy. They thought they would see me first and then decide. My mom did know that she wanted my middel name to be Lynn, which is her middle name, but they didn't really have a first name picked out. So along I come out of the birth canal, and off I go to get cleaned up, and my mom is still having contractions. Surprise, she was having twins. Back when I was born they didn't check for that during the pregnancy. So out comes my sister and now my parents have two girls they need to name. Well my dad, being the silly man that he is, says hey, lets name them Molly and Dolly. Well my mom was so against that, that she just kind of grasped for names, and we were named Cheryl and Christina. I am so glad she didn't accept my dad's idea because I just wouldn't want to go thorugh life as Dolly Lynn. I think I would have ended up being a totally different person.

My name is Shiobhan. I was named by my cousin. She did alot of traveling in the air force. She visited Ireland once and loved this irish name. She suggested it to my mother and she thought it was pretty and unusual.

Well when my mom had me she looked at my dad asked him what should we name her he said name her said Sammantha off of samantha bewitched.My sisters name is Teena after the singer Teena Mariee

My name is Ronita and it is some what different than others i have yet to find its meaning as Ronita never seems to be any where ... LOL! My mother combined my brothers God parents names which were Ronnie and Anita and took the first and last three and Vola Ronita ... LOL!

my mother just thought it was a nice name

I got my name because my parents wanted me to have a name that was simple, and easy to use in many langauges. Originally, I was slated to have the very Danish name "Preben," but my dad had gone through much international travel with a hard-to-pronounce danish name, and didn't want that for me-- so they settled on "Peter" instead.
