Realnames? Where did yours come from?

[enoughfakefiles]

Just wondering :unsure:

[tralalala]

A name book.. Yeah my parents weren't original.

[thebazzla]

mine came from a place name in wales

[chalice]

Fucking parents again.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

--Philip Larkin

[Something Else]

Nobody has ever called me by my official name.
It was like ma folks realised they had made a mistake on the way back from the hospital.
I only found out my real first name when I was about 9 or 10.

[Skiz]

Got my name from my Dad's; I'm a "Jr.".

His first name was given to him as his father's brother died when he was young and it was a sort of tribute.

Middle comes from another tribute to the other brother who was shot down in WW2 over the ocean and never found.

No idea about my last name. :idunno:

[CrabGirl]

Mine came from my dad being all down with mythology and stuff. Thanks Dad.

No rod.

I fear Ben really did think his name was 'Spaz' til a kindly priest took him under his wing and gave him a totally different alias altogether.

[Something Else]

I only thought my name was Spaz because I ran like this. :emo:

Aphrodite / Venus - goddess of love, beauty and fertility

Hera / Juno - goddess of marriage

Athena / Minerva - goddess of art & war

Hestia - goddess of the hearth,

you seem to be a mix of the top three,
so im guessing your name is Afrojunonerva?

[SAM]

MY NAME MEANS THE FORGIVER
it was the name of my mother doctor the one who delivered me :)
she was hoping i'll be a doctor but alas i become an engineer :D

Crabgirl's name could be Pandora. Pandora let evil and misery out in a pristine world, and then kept hope for herself.

Aww. That's a lovely thing to say, thank you!

However, my dad was a lover of the myths and legends of the British Isles...I was lucky though, I could have been called Piskie Black-shuck or something.

[Barbarossa]

There's nothing wrong with being called Piskie Black-shuck :snooty:

[Snee]

:glag: It just gets funnier and funnier :glag: :lol:

Dramatic spirit, that.

While the story of Pandora is not a British folktale per se The Danes did invade the British Isles and they did leave a lot of their culture behind.:whistling

[CrabGirl]

Get over it already. I'm not called Pandora.

[snowultra]

mine was a just a popular name at the time

[Biggles]

Get over it already. I'm not called Pandora.

Typical response from a Pandora.

Mine is common or garden and there has been in the family for years (about three centuries at least). Thought I was the last as more imagination came into play but my niece has just gone and kept the chain going.


Edit: by naming her son obviousment.

[bornwithnoname]

How was I to know. All I knew was that you're a women and named after something in mythology:(:cry:.

[SAM]

don't names sometimes describe the personality of a person?
really,
i knew a girl her name was habiba and that means "lovely or love able " in my language and she really is.
and another one of my buddies,his name was saleh which means good and he was very kind and sincere.
not to mention me,my name means "the forgiver" and i always forgive people.even barbie , i forgave him :(

Are you looking for those qualities because you know what the names mean?

[WarrenBuffet]

[Cabalo]

That is such a depressing view, yet bitterly true.
Might as well nuke ourselves then.
They should put that quote on the walls of maternity wards.

A place in Siberia...

Vladivostok! :blink:

[Chip Monk]

Named for my Mother's Father. My older brother was named for my Father's Father.

I have no "middle names".

We don't fuck about where I come from.

Crabgirls :earl: name is le.

[kooftspc11]

my name is kat...not short for anything

[Barbarossa]

I have no middle names either. Middle names only serve one purpose - to get the pish ripped out of you at school.

[Barbarossa]

my name is kat...not short for anything

It's short for katamaran

[Aeyen]

My dad's name + a japanese white dove :P
I don't know why but it turns out that my skin is white :P

[Something Else]

I don't know why but it turns out that my skin is white :P

What colour are your parent's skins. :unsure:

Crabgirls :earl: name is le.

Being an RC, you would have a Confirmation name, shirley.

Yeah but that's not part of my name. Not as far as I'm concerned anyways. I certainly wouldn't use it.

What's the point in it, then?

I'm not being facetious, I am uninformed about such matters and wouldn't mind knowing.

[chalice]

The reason I mention it is cuz my kid is making his confirmation soon and we're trying to decide on a name. It has to be the name of a saint, apparently.

I want Sebastian because of Belle and Sebastian and that Goya painting.

He wants Martin. :dabs:

I'm being all Arthurian.

I chose My Father's Father's name for my confirmation. My Brother chose my Mother's Father's name.

I pretended it was a deep, meaningful family thing but it was really because you had to research the Saint. My Paternal Grandfather was Joseph, so a bit of an easy one there.

Coincidentally my own Father was a Joiner.

True story.

[Skweeky]

What is the use of this thread when no one actually mentions what their real name is? :huh:

Anyways, my first name is Sonja and it's derived from Sophia, which is Greek for wisdom. My dad chose it and I think my mum just went along with it because it starts with an 's' ( both my sister's names start with an 's' as well)

My middle names are just my paternal grandparents' names. I don't have a confirmation name though. We don't hold with that nonsense in Belgian RC church

[Agrajag]

Everyone knows my name is Jim. From my Mother's Father also James.

I think I've made it reasonably clear my confirmation name is Joseph but I don't count that as part of my actual name.

And also I've made that disk for you but haven't had a chance to get it posted.

Sorry about that.

[Skweeky]

true, Jimbo, you were with the programme there :P

Cheers for the disc, there's no rush. Only just got back from a wee holidays today anyways

Scottish Highlands are fucking unbelievable

I'm going up to Arisaig agin' later in the year.

Wee cottage at Back of Keppoch.

[Snee]

Got one from a boxer, and two others, middle names, I inherited, one of those has been in both sides of the family for centuries, and is tied to my last name, in a my last name = "son of [my middle name]" sort of way.

[Proper Bo]

I bet your rl name is Sneessön-san, like.

[Snee]

:lol:

[Agrajag]

I bet your rl name is Sneessön-san, like.

:lol:

He's a mad, mental, Japonese Suede.

[Proper Bo]

If it isn't that, he should totally change it to that:smilie4:

[Skweeky]

We were in Onich, but went on wee day trips to Skye, Glencoe-Ballachulish, Fort William etc..

I'll post some pics later on, image shack isn't working for me at the moment.

[Snee]

The Belgian Royal Canadian Church, eh?

[ZaZu]

Me Mum gimme it...dad just calls me 'hey'

[Defy]

My mom wanted an old fashion name, something kinda unique that not very many people had. My last name just descends from my German bloodline.

[sumvell]

my name means a good friend(in hindi). i wonder how many people who know me agree to that. my second name means lion(in hindi too).
i am sure no one agrees to that.
