My first name is also the same as my grandmother and my mom's best friend, and my mom's middle name. Surprisingly, my first name is also really similar to my MILs first name (to the point where she and I receive texts intended for the other on occasion). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-named-after-anyone#post-1780977 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 09:01:06 +0000 psw27 1780977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm named after an actress my mom liked on a show... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-named-after-anyone#post-1780920 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:50:20 +0000 loveisstrange 1780920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I was almost named Tonia, because my aunt loved it and didnt get to name her daughter that, but I wasn't.

We all 3 have family middle name. DH has his father's middle name as well. We are carrying on the tradition with honoring someone with our LO's middle name. </p> <p>Our LO has a family name (grandma's maiden name) which is given to the first born girl in every family. Our next LO will likely have the middle name of DH's brother who passed away (either gender will be using Michael) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-named-after-anyone#post-1780849 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:36:37 +0000 NavyRN2012 1780849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

He must have been really impressed!</p> <p>My first name is just a name they liked. It's one of the main characters in Dr. Zhivago. My middle name, they claim, is an amalgam of both my parent's middle names. But I'm fairly certain they figured that out later. I think they just like how it sounded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-named-after-anyone#post-1780291 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 21:20:18 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1780291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My middle name shares a first initial with a great aunt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-named-after-anyone#post-1780289 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 21:20:09 +0000 Espion 1780289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: Makes me think of Indiana Jones. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-named-after-anyone#post-1780285 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 21:18:29 +0000 artsyfartsy 1780285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A runaway who stole a car.
