I am not asking you to give your names, but your family background would be of interest. I believe that Spanish people can have many names, but is this for the nobility?
Forgive me if this sounds rude; I am interested.
My names are Catriona Isobel Rose and I am of Cornish/ Celtic stock. I tend to only use Rose for convenience sake.
Kind regards, Rose P.

I have three given/Christian names. All are in honour of members of my extended family. They are all names of British queens, as well. (One Scots, one Anglo-Saxon, and one English.) I am called by a shorter version of my first name. "Meg". I like my names, but the "nickname" made life less complicated when I was a child. ; )
I am American, and the European part of my family have been here for nearly 400 years. We are still 1/2 French, my father's family are part American Indian/Mexican. (Depends on which family member is talking. LOL) In some European and Catholic families it isn't unusual to have the extra names.

I have a first and middle name. Pauleen Louise. My first name is spelled differently than the conventional Pauline because my oldest sister's name is Kathleen, and my parents followed a relatives suggestion to spell it like that. I don't mind it now, but it does get annoying having to spell my name all the time. I don't like my middle name.
My father was Catholic and was named Raymond James when he was born. When he made his communion, he took what he always called his confirmation name of Joseph. I don't think it has any legal meaning, but it's a tradition of the church.

I'm American and Catholic. My first name is Catherine. I'm of Irish and Polish ancestry. My parents named me after my grandmothers. I like my name but often use a nickname. Sometimes I wish my name were more unique.

Jonathan Andrew - Jonathan means gift from God and Andrew means manly. I know me and those are way off base. I am of English (Norman English which means Viking), German, and Cherokee on my father's side and Dutch and Scotch-Irish on my mother's side.

I have a first name, middle name and last name. I'm not fond of my name. My last name is English and I'm English, Scottish, Cherokee, Blackfoot, and who knows what else.

Mine is Patricia Ann.
Patricia is an old Roman name meaning "Royal"
Ann is a Hebrew name meaning "Grace"
I guess they're okay--though I wish my family had nicknamed me "Trishia" instead of "Patty"...would have saved me YEARS of torment in school...

My name is Dana Suzzanne, and I like it very much.
Dana means, "God is my judge," which reminds me to care more about what He thinks rather than what people think.
Suzzanne means, "Beautiful Lily," and that's nice, too.
I am a total Heinz 57.
