[tallygirl]

Born in the 50’s, my parents just liked the name Barbara. There were three of us in the same grade that went all the way through high school together. Now I don’t know anyone named Barbara.

My name is Curtis and my mother was part of the Tony Curtis film crew and got a autographed picture...it was either Guy Marx after Zorro or Curtis... which as a child was told was a root of courteous...so I won every citizenship honor in elementary school...than just became another brick in the wall

Oh my gosh! I've been seeing your screen name as citruscitrus! Makes so much more sense now!!

I really enjoyed reading everyone’s replies on this topic. I always enjoy reading the replies on the polls, but I especially really enjoyed reading these. Thank you to everyone that took the time to discuss your name

I may have mentioned or referred to my name here a few times. I am named for the most important female Irish saint, who has been growing in importance in recent years with a bank holiday.

I guess my first name is OK... not particularly thrilled with it though. I am not named after anyone in particular..... my mom was so "bandwagon" back in the day it seems.

My actual first name is Michelle....... yea sooooooooooo common during the time frame I was born. I remember always having to use last initials in elementary school because there were several of us in my classroom Thankfully the last initials didn't overlap too.
