whats your name?

MrsMommyQ · February 2010

We always talk about what we're naming our LOs! What's your name? First and middle. If there's a story to go along with how you were named, do tell!

Me:

I'm Krista Joy. When I born my parents couldn't agree on a name so they settled on Kristin (my dad wanted a Krissy bc Chris Evert, the tennis player, was really popular). About 6 weeks later a family friend was visiting for the first time and didn't hear my mom properly when she said my name was Kristin. He thought she said Krista and so he called me Krista. After he left my mom couldn't get the name out of her head and eventually convinced my dad to legally change it. They started calling me Krista at about 7 weeks but didnt legally change it till I was 4.

Middle name is Joy bc my mom was so happy I was a girl.

Hi! I'm Allison Marie. My Dad's name is Alfio (al-fe-o, its Italian) and my grandmother's name is Alice and so they found another Al name they like. Marie is a family name- HUGE Italian family here so alot of girl's names are something Marie. DD's first name is Emma Marie....

I go by Ally since like high school.... don't know why it started.... I think I wanted to be "cool"

Melanie Lanae.

My mom found it in a book and liked it. I think I read somewhere it literally means dark haired beauty or something along those lines.

Meghan Marie. Tee hee hee...

Emma.

I wasn't given a middle name. My maiden name is now technically my middle name I guess.

My parent didn't find out if I was going to a be a boy or girl, if I was going to a be a boy my name would be Daniel. Trivia: Rachel on Friends named her daughter Emma and if it was a boy was going to be Daniel.

Rachelilly23 · February 2010

Rachel Leigh. My parents' names are Ray and Cheryl- I asked them if they just put their names together, and they said no, but people asked the same question when I was born. They said they just liked the name. Not sure why they chose Leigh for the mn.

My name means innocent like a lamb, or something like that. It makes me giggle Stick out tongue

Luv me some Emma.... haha

nicki070810 · February 2010

Nicole Elizabeth.

Nicole because my Mom always liked the name ever since she was young and Elizabeth after my Mom & my Great-grandmother on my mother's side.

rexandbrooke · February 2010

Lara Brooke. My dad knew I was going to be a girl from the very beginning so they didn't even come up with a boy's name for me. My dad's side of the family is Russian and Lara is the Russian version of Laura. My middle name comes from one of my mom and dad's best friends, though my parents have called me Brooke since birth (they though Lara Brooke sounded better than Brooke Lara).

annamarymoon · February 2010

Anna Mary

I was named after my father's mother who passed away when he was only 16. I like to think that we have a connection since we share her name

mrs.g_6708 · February 2010

Kristin Jeanette

Kristin because my mom liked it and Jeanette after my dad's aunt who died of breast cancer in her early thirties. I actually love my name

Dreamsicle23 · February 2010

My name was a goof too. I'm Christina Lynn. I think it was supposed to be Christine but the nurse wrote it down wrong and I guess my parents didn't feel like correcting the paperwork. I don't know where the hell my middle name came from, but it is the town I was born in...that's just weird.

maryenap · February 2010

Mary Elizabeth

My grandmother's names were Mary and Elizabeth, but according to my mom, I wasn't named after either of them. ??? My mom really liked the name Mary Beth. I dropped the Beth by high school, but now I wish I kept it.

mexicolombiana · February 2010

Claudia and we don't use middle names in my family, so I made my maiden name my middle name. My mom wanted to name me Sara (after her grandma) but my dad thought it was too plain so he actually picked Claudia and my mom said ok. (her name is Cecilia)

mrs.ritz · February 2010

Hi, I am Megan!

My mom was going to name Nicole the whole time until she saw my face after birth. I am glad I was named Megan because I have 2 best friends named Nicole, lol.

Mrs.LM625 · February 2010

Laurie Ann - The initial L runs through the females in our family - my mom is Lucille, my maternal grandmother was Laura (I'm named for her), and my maternal great grandmother was Lucy. Our LO's name will begin with the letter L also. Ann because my paternal grandfather's name was Anthony.

tessab2515 · February 2010

Tessa Lee. I don't think my first name had any significance, my parents just like it. My grandpa's name was Lee so I got that after him, which now my DD shares also.

mrsjenni · February 2010

Jennifer Leigh

Standard 1979 name.

For serious though, I was named after my great grandmother whom everyone called "Jenni." My parents assumed her name was Jennifer so they named me that. Then about 2 months later, they found out her name was actually Genevieve and everyone just called her Jenni.

So my name should have been Genevieve... and I wish it was! I think it's so special that I would have shared a name with her (even though everyone calls me "Jenni" and I am technically still named after her.)

suepotsy · February 2010

Christine Suzanne (Chrissy for short)

I am named after my great grandmother Crystal and my aunt/godmother Suzanne. When I was little my dad called me Chrissy-Sue. That stuck for a LOOOONG time! Dropped the Sue by middle school, and decided to go by Christine when I entered the working world (I thought it was much more professional Wink )!!

cubbie8685 · February 2010

Mine is Stephanie Marie

the story:

I was named after my grandfather and mother lol...

Stephan is my grandpa...Maria my mother. however since I was neither a boy or a JR they decided to play with spelling and gender use lol...

Oriana.Ocampo · February 2010

Mine is Oriana Lissette... My parents named me after some famous poet. I don't know who she is though. lol

Celtic Ember · February 2010

Theresa Marie. My mom insists i was named after her aunt, who died the day before i was born, and my dad always insisted they just liked the name. I get the feeling my mother did some stealth naming and told my dad about it afterwards. I'm glad i got a semi-unique first name, though, because Marie is the standard catholic girls middle name LOL!!!

cearleyjay · February 2010

Jaime Leigh

this is how my mom tells it. she watching a pregnancy work out video and fell in love with jamie lee curtis, but didnt know how she spelled it. she thought since janet leigh was her mother thats how they spelled it. and she also thought jaime was right also.

even though i see these spellings all the time now i had a rough time growing up, trying to explain how to spell my name. i remember when i came into the service i had to one line EVERYTHING and put the correct spelling and initial it.

meangene · February 2010

Sarah Gene..

Men in my family have the middle name of Eugene, so it was a family name, hence the spelling.

crows1920 · February 2010

I'm a Jessica L

No middle name, just middle initial.

My mom's name is Lynne, My maternal grandmother's name was Lillian, and my paternal grandmother's middle name is Lee so they just gave me a plain ol' L in honor of them.

KGraham05 · February 2010

I love my name : ) Kimberly Katrina, With the name Kimberly I believe my family just like the fact that they could switch it up whenever they wanted too lol. Family & friends call me either Kimmy, Kim, or K.C but since I'm a Graham now it's changed to K.G. My Middle name is also my mother's middle name so since my Hubby wouldn't let me name our 1st son Nick Jr. we agreed to let him at least have his daddy's middle name. If we have a daughter her middle name will be different because my niece was born recently and Katrina fit so perfectly with her 1st name Kyla Big Smile

Pretty name!

Thank you!!! I always liked it. Though it was always funny in school because when substitutes called out my first name from the roll sheet I never answered

sopranole · February 2010

My name is Kimberly Nicole.

Kimberly was a name that my parents liked. My biological father's name was Lee. He was a narcissistic creep, and he wanted a name with a "Lee/Ly" in it. (My brother is Andrew Lee.) In spite of it, I really love my first name. Nicole was just another popular 80's name they liked. I don't hate it but won't use it in any way if I have a daughter.

SunshineKira · February 2010

Kira Renee - My parents are big into name meanings and really liked the fact that Kira means 'sunshine'. Renee is the middle name of my mom and grandmother. I almost gave our daughter Renee as a middle name as well but decided instead to name her after my great grandmother who is still living and is an amazing woman.

paxilchyk · February 2010

Jennifer Lynn

Boring name, I was one of 4 Jenny's in my first grade class of 60, two of us had the same middle name as well. The name came from my dad. He had an ex-girlfriend name Jennifer and he always liked the name after that. What sealed the deal was my dad had/has a nurse in his office named Jennifer that both my parents really liked. Lynn is my mom's good friend's middle name.

lois0011 · February 2010

Meghan Marie. Tee hee hee...

Same here but spelt...Megan Marie!

beebcaf · February 2010

Hi, I'm Brandy Elizabeth. My mom swore she was going to name her first daughter Brandy after the song "Brandy you're a fine girl" since she was a teenager and she managed to talk my Dad into it. I always thought the Elizabeth was after her (even though she goes by Betsy) but she told me recently that they picked it because they couldn't find anything else to go with Brandy.

If LO is a girl we are seriously considering Kira. I love it!!

grace416 · February 2010

My name is Megan Jean...My grandmas name was Grace so I put that as my bump name.

mbear511 · February 2010

My name is Lindsay Beth. My middle name comes from my mom's younger sister who died at the age of 7. If we have a girl we want to pass on Beth as a middle name to our daughter.

Sunflower730 · February 2010

Amye Jean.

My mom thought I was a boy.. until I came out. She happened to hear the song " Amy whatyou gonna do.." liked the name and gave me the french spelling to be diffrent.

whatever496 · February 2010

Alissa Marie-

My 'sperm giver' wanted to name me Candy...and my mother (who already knew what I was) told him that if it was a girl she would name it and if it was a boy he could name it.....now I cant ever find anything personalized

willowcormar · February 2010

Kerrie Marie. My mom wanted this name because a girl next door to her had that name and mom heard her get called Auntie Kerrie. She liked that a lot and seeing as I am her second, she thought she would name me Kerrie and that I would probably end up an Auntie. And now I am. Also, Marie is her middle name.

jshu610 · February 2010

My parents just really liked the name and apparently so did everyone else in the early 1980's

avada_kedavra · February 2010
