What's the origin of your name?

Where did your parents get it from?

Mine

I was to be named after A.J. from the TV show Simon and Simon.

In 'real' "life"...

I was to be named after one of my dad's computer passwords, which was named after Samwise from the Lord of the Rings.

Alternatively, my parents considered naming me 'Ziggy the Zygote'.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

My parents just sorta... Gave me the name. I dunno, I haven't really asked them about it.

If I were to ask them one question, though, it would have to be, "Why Jon?".

For a while my parents were convinced they were going to have a girl, so they have a number of names prepared.

Then, they couldn't take me home until they gave me a name. And then it ended up being Gandhi.

Guess where that came from.

Parents originally decided to name me Benjamin. Entire famliy told them (with no remorse/feeling at all) that the name licked balls.

Mom and Dad were pretty pissed at that, but they knew that all throughout my life they would always bash the name. (just the way my grand parents are, obnoxious and thick)

So they just decided on Alexander.

Funny thing is, every aunt and uncle that dissed the name, all came up with stupid assed names for their kids, knew they sucked so didnt tell anyone till the kid was born and legally given the name.

Assholes.

Tamara.

I know it is Arabic for the phrase "Fruit of the palm tree". And I have no idea why my folks pegged me with it.

Middle name means "graceful". So now, I am a graceful fruit. Yay!

Donnald, named after my mother, Donna.

It's somewhat unusual to have two "n"s in that name, so people allways get it wrong.

I was named after a friend of my mothers in college, she jus thought it was cool. Kalah doesn't really have a translation, other than a board game played with stones or gems, but spelled another way, it means black or time. So, taken with my maiden name, it could be "Black Deer", hehe.

Eh, my parents wanted to break "John" as first name tradition, so they wanted to give me something traditional, yet unique. So, Andrew, one of the apostle's names fit the bill, as it has a germanic base, since we are all half German in any case, took my Dad's middle name to supplement the bill.

Wow, personal info revealed. Astonishing, eh?
