Is there a story behind your name?

Question

like did your parents pick it for a certain reason?


mine was chosen 'cause i was born 3 months early at 1 lb 5 oz. and for the first few days my heart stopped 3 times and i spent a lot of my first year in the hospital. so my parents picked my name because it means "fighter"... i quite like it actually :)

Answer 1

my gran chose mines, since she chose my sisters...our names sorta match....u already know mines means the sun, hers is somethin to do with sunset where the sky colour changes n it goes red n stuff...my names awesome...my gran wanted to name my bro after the moon to keep the match, but i didnt like it lol

Answer 2

Sadly, my parents never told me the story behind my name. It would have been nice to know why. Anyway my name is Robert, and I know that the name Robert means "Bright Fame". Maybe it was my destiny to do great things in this world? I am not sure. But whatever the reason is, I am sure that my parents do have faith in me to do great things in this world anyway.

My middle name Lawrence, I know was passed down to me from my grandfather. My grandfather's first name was Lawrence. He died though when I was 1 year old. It is kind of sad. I guess my parents wanted me to be like him.

As for my last name Danielson. I know that the name Danielson is a Swedish name derived from my Swedish ancestors. I know this because any last name that has a "son" at the end of the name is a Swedish name. Examples are Robinson, Jacobson, Olson.

Answer 3

I almost got named a different name but then my mom found out the room right next door to were she was had the very last name I did, and they were going to name their child the exact same name.Small world, so my mom and dad didn't want to get the babies mixed up so they picked out another name for me right before i was born! which I like better then what I WAS going to be named...so as for my name they just picked it because they liked the sound of it...

Answer 4

I think my parents only bothered choosing the best name for the wrong reasons. Which may be why I hate myself so much. I feel I'm not me, so I made me self a new name.

Answer 5

I have a twin our first names mean the same as our last names in different languages.

Answer 6

well, i'm happy you're ok. you are definitely a fighter. no, my name doesn't have a story behind it. my middle name was selected by my dad's co-workers. he did a poll and the majority won. that's it. nothing special.
