Bit of boring information here about how I got my name.


I was named after a my Great Uncle (My grandad's brother) who was named Joseph Wilding.



He died from head injuries after a sheet or girder, probably of steel hit him or fell on his head whilst working in Cammell Lairds.

My Middle name derrives from my Great Uncle (My nan's brother) who was called Daniel.


Just wondering if any of you were named after members of your family or have any interesting stories of how you got your name?

I was named after my Grand Father, as there has always been
a "Mark" in the Family for how long who knows.

Sorry nothing too exciting, not named after any
warriors or famous people.

Dunno where my name is from, but i know im god gift (in Hebrew) lmao!

I was named after my great grandfather (antonio) he was a legend in Italy so i am told killed alot of Germans before he was killed for doing this.

Loved his country bit like me.

He didnt agree with the war back in the day and as his mam n paps were english stood for what he belived in.

Shame as he was a good man i am led to belive unlike may father who i have never met and has since died.

My dad was going to name be Bruce(first) Lee(second) after the martial arts legend.. My dad is so obssesed with Bruce Lee so he wanted to call me a legend... But my mum didnt like the name Bruce and to be honest i dont like it either.. Then had another argument over another name they where going to call me (liam) but then they both called a truce and called me Lee(first after bruces second name) David(after my grandad and my dad) My full name is Lee David Mills Better than Bruce Lee Mills imho.. So thats how i got my name Lee (breaths in phew)

My mum nd dad went over the top with my older bro..naming him Jason after Jason and the Argonauts.....

so they decided they wanted something more normal...but not that popular like john etc....so craig it was....

when i was born on the 7th December my mum n dad decided they wanted to call me david but didnt want my initials to spell out DAM so they kept the name as planned just decided to call me by my middle name instead - it's a pain in the arse tho cos everyone in work calls me andy, everyone else calls me davey - urgh!

my first name "renault" comes from my car and "longmong" comes from the evil b@stards at work!

Sean Kevin Kenyon

Sean, I don;t know why they must have just liked that name lol

So as you can see i only really like the "Sean" bit of my name

Laurette = Have no clue...

Abernethy = Couldnt choose this name, but I know there are biscuits and a forest named after it.....some people say it sounds like a welsh village

my mum just asked the doctor when i was born so i was called michael james after him although i did know a lad in school who's middle name was conan!!!

My first name is after Jacqueline Kennedy, my middle name is Arianrhod. Arianrhod (from the Welsh arian, "silver", and rhod, "wheel") is the Moon Goddess, Goddess of the muse and daughter of Dôn, the Celtic Goddess. She is the mother of Lleu Llaw Gyffes in the fourth branch of the Mabinogi. She was also the Goddess of reincarnation.

Strange considering my family are all of Irish descent lol.

My nan bought a cot set when me mum was pregnant, she didnt notice a 'd' emblazoned in the corner and so my name was to begin with D.
In labour the midwife said 'what u gonna the baby?'
Me mum said 'dylan if its a boy coz me husband said he wants to name it after bob dylan'
The midwife said 'well, lets hope its a girl then'!

Rude- dawn, btw

Kenneth - after my old man
Albert - after my grandad.
When my missus was having a baby in W. Berlin I had a girl's name lined up but couldn't think of one for a boy so I asked a German mate of mine, Uwe, to think of a German name which would sound good in English and German to commemorate the fact that that is where the nipper was born. I told him I didn't want a daft one like "Wolf". About 3 weeks later up come Uwe,"Got a name for you Scouse, call him Jerry." It turned out to be a girl and her name is Lorraine.

The young Indian boy had spent most of his life in a quandry... He felt different yet... couldn't figure why... he was just so depressed. He went to the Chief for answers... He asked the chief how his brother Red Deer Running had gotten his name...

The chief answered in his typically poetic way..."When Red Deer Running was born, at the moment of his birth, the first thing his mother saw was a beautiful deer running off into the forest... and so Running Deer was named. It is the custom of our tribe to name the offspring according to the spirits in nature visiting upon the birth."

Then, the boy said to the Chief... And how did my sister "Thundering Bird" get her name? The chief described again, how at the moment of her birth Thundering Bird's mother had heard a roar of thunder and looking up, saw a bird flying in the sky...

The boy asked again, how his cousin "White Crouching Bear" had been given such a name... And the chief, looking down once more at the boy, explaining the traditions of their tribe.... White Bear's mother had seen a rare white bear crouched over a stream at the moment her baby's birth. Then he asked the boy...

"Why do you ask, Two Dogs fooking?"
