Where did you get your name?

[Denkou Soshiatae]

Jasmin:
First name Jasmin, with the "e". It was a tradition for my fathers family to name my cousins with either J or A. With my sister being Amber, I had to be J. And, even tho my mother denies it, the first movie my father took my mother to see was Aladin so... I swear to gGod I am named after a Disney Princess.

Lyn:
My aunt Lynda. She hated her whole name so she shortened it to Lyn, hence the single "n". Lol.  

[Kiori Yuki]

First name,
My first name came from a show called, "Star Trek: Voyager". My first name was supposed to be B'Elanna, but my mom thought it would be too difficult for people to pronounce. So, she changed it to Elanna.

Middle name:
My middle name also came from a "Star Trek" show called, "Deep Space Nine". The girl's name was Major Kira Narisse.

So, my name is Elanna Narisse [*Inserts Last Name*]

My mother had names picked out for either a boy or a girl.
I happen to be the latter, so I was named Briana Danielle *last name*.

My first name doesn't have any special reason, but my mother had always wanted a boy named Daniel, so when her third child was another girl, she gave up and finally chose to give the female version of the name~

Of course, my brother was born three years later xD

 

[Thistleclaw]

I was named after my Grandfather, his name was Thomas, or Tommy, mine is Tommi, with an I (Because of being female)
So, that's all
My middle name is Lynn, it was gonna be Lee, but my Mon didn't want me having two male names, so it became Lynn.

I love how many of you have the middle name Lynn! Guess it isn't as uncommon as I thought!

Well, while my mom was pregnant with me she had a boy named picked and a girl named picked, Shelby.
Until she was in her 7th month and her younger sister named her cat Shelby xD and my mom refused to "name her baby after her sister's cat" so she changed it to a different name.

And my middle name is Lynn because it's my mom's middle name. So help me if I don't pick Lynn as my little girl's name. She would be miffed! xp

 

[mahou prince]

Both my names, Stephanie and Caroline, comes from the two princesses in Monaco. So I'm named after them. :3 My middle name was supposed to be Madeléne, but mum didn't think that it sounded good with Stephanie, so Caroline it was!

If I was born a boy, mum and dad would have named me Emil. :> Don't know how many of you that has heard of a Swedish author named Astrid Lindgren, but she wrote a few books about a boy named Emil so my grandmother didn't like the fact that I would be named that if I was a boy. xD

My parents said that they got my first name from a Beatle's song. But then, another story was that I was almost born in July, right after my Dad's birthday, so my first name's kind of related to "July". My second name they got from my Mom. Dad said that he wanted something from my mother, so they just tweaked her name a bit :p

 

[flippinbananas]

My name is Mahrukh. (MaH-Rukh). (Don't know if that helped.)

But anyway, it means Moon Face. Mah=moon Rukh=face. My uncle named me. I thought it was an Arabic name but it's actually Persian. whee  

[MiracleRayray2]

My first name comes from the bible. Rachel. (mom just wanted to be different then all the other girls that were in there with me as a newborn too. biggrin )

My MIddle Name was named after my aunt who passed away before I was born. Rosalie.

I am Rachel Rosalie (insert my last name) smile  

[Saintly Serenade]

My first name is Hope. I was named so because, at the time of my birth and ever since, I was always my parents' "hope"; like, their beacon, or a ray of light leading them back to the 'good path'. My parents were both pretty messed up in their younger years; drug addicts, alcoholics, party-goers. My dad had just gotten out of the marines and had seen a lot of jacked up stuff, so they thought of me, the child that my mother had been told was almost impossible to actually have, as their hope. c:

My middle name, Marie, is a lot simpler and more traditional. My Aunt Crystal's middle name is also 'Marie', and my Mother's Mother's (aka my Grandmother) first name was 'Mary'. It didn't mean as much as my first name, but, eh...

If I was a boy, I would have been named Chaz ???. I don't remember what the middle name was, but I know the first name was definitely Chaz. So, as a kind of pen-name or whenever I don't want to give out my real name, I always use Chazz-Marie in place. xD I think it's a pretty girly name, myself, but I like that I haven't ever actually met a guy named Chaz. So, if I actually had been a boy, I'd still have had a name as uncommon or close to as Hope! (:  

[Alice Kensington]

... My name is Alice, named after Alice from Alice in wonderland... which is odd because I'm not british or anything,

My middle name is marie. It's my grandma's middle name so... yeah. I suppose in comparison to the rest of you my name is kinda boring...  

[I - Ocean Eyes - I]

I was named after my mom's best friend that was killed by a drunk driver. My mom had a best friend named Jamie. She knew her ever since the start of school. They went strong.. My mom was pregnant with me when she was still alive. Before she died, my mom planned on naming me Rachel. But once the friend was killed, my mom thought that Jamie would be a better name to remember her. c:

My middle name is Rae, and so is my mom's. biggrin AND my Dad's is Ray. c; I find it cool. biggrin  

[BeastEuphoria]

Surprisingly enough. A baby book. My mom seriously found the name Emerald is a baby book when she was 7 years old.
