Were you named for someone/Did you name your child after someone?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

catlover79 · 03-11-2007, 09:26 PM

My middle name is Elisabeth, which was my grandmother's (my dad's mom) first name. My cousin Jean's middle name is also Elisabeth, in honor of our grandma. Jean is the first name of her other grandma. My sister and her husband named their baby Andrew Michael, the Michael is my brother-in-law's father's first name.

Both of my Grandfathers were named Charles and I was the first Grandson on both sides of the family so you should have little trouble guessing my real name.

Brian Damage · 03-11-2007, 09:33 PM

My eldest daughter's middle name is Nicole. She was given that name to honor my wife's twin sister who died at birth. My other daughter's middle name is Grace, because she was a grace from God after months of trying to get pregnant.

I was fated to love M*A*S*H as my parents loved the show, and with their favorite character being Klinger, they named me after his actor, Jamie Farr.

Should I ever have a male child of my own, my absolute favorite name is Max (also after Klinger lol)

Already Gone · 03-11-2007, 10:21 PM

My mother wanted to name me after her favorite aunt and a close friend of the family so that's how I got to be named Katherine Alice.

Janice · 03-11-2007, 11:51 PM

My parents named me Janice because I was born in January. That seems silly, but whatever, I'm happy with my name. My middle name is Eileen, after my aunt, who also was my Godmother.

Brieannas21 · 03-12-2007, 12:03 AM

My mom named me after a character in a book that she was reading.

freshprinceofLA · 03-12-2007, 12:15 AM

I know, I would never expect anyone here to reveal their last name.

Number 9 Dream · 03-12-2007, 08:13 AM

Nope, I wasn't named after anyone special

My Dad wanted us all (us meaning my three brothers and I) to have 'K' names, and my name was a unique spelling (Kristel).

My brother Kalin, however, was a name taken out of a novel my Dad read

Penny Lane · 03-12-2007, 09:53 AM

I was named Marlene after the German song "Lily Marlene" and my middle name Mae after my Mother's middle name.

We named our daughter Katherine Mary after 2 great grandmother's.
Our Son Joseph William after 2 great grandfather's.

LuLu Rogers · 03-12-2007, 11:18 AM

My name is Lauren Ashley. My parents named me after two characters on "The Young and the Restless"

AB · 03-12-2007, 03:19 PM

I named my son after a tv character and of course he doesn't like his name.
"Keith"

Ireneparalegal · 03-12-2007, 03:43 PM

My oldest daughter is named Nina. I chose that name when I was 7 years old. I seen a kids show and one of the girl's name was Nina. I loved it because I had never heard it and it was unique. I then heard the name again on All My Children. It was weird how I knew at such a young age that I would want that name for my daughter someday.

My other daughter is named after her paternal grandmother.

My son is named after my fave blues guitarist, Stevie Ray Vaughan.
