When you were named, did your parents give you...

[~*Belle 2003*~]

...any of their christian names too?

The most common one parent's like to pass on is their middle name!

 

[snoopy]

No, but close. My mother's name was Antioinette, and she gave me the middle name of Angelique. I'm not sure which is worse. I dropped that Angelique the SECOND I got married, I'll tell you that.

 

[Beauty]

No I was named after a favorite uncle of my mom's his name was Lee and she named me Leigh. I dropped it too when I got married.

 

[dizneenut]

Nope

 

[lindajo]

Sort of my moms. Her mother's maiden name was Linde, and her mother's first name was Josie. Her father's name was Johnny, sister's name is Joanne. So I am Linda Jo.

 

[Blondie]

Not that I'm aware of.

I'm the only Kathleen!

 

[julie_yet]

My middle name is Christine after my mom.

 

[Pooh's Pal]

No, I was named after the old actress, Deborah Kerr.
But my grandma's name was Marion and everyone called her Molly. Not knowing this nickname of my Grandmas...I named my DD Mollie spelled with an ie not a y, and found out weeks after my DD was born from my aunt about my Grandma's nickname. I must of had somewhere in my subconscious.

My parents did not...but my paternal grandmother's maiden name was Roberta Roberts. She married my grandfather who was named John. My dad's name is Robert John. My aunt's name is Roberta.
My mother-in-law's maiden name was Patricia Kelly. Her mom's name is Patricia Kelly.
Lots of name recycling going on around here.
Hubby and I really don't plan to.

My dad's middle name was James, and that is my first name. My DW and I gave our son the middle name of James as well.

 

[Pin Wizard]

Sort of, but not theirs! LOL! My paternal grandfather was Alexander. So I'm sure that's where Sandra came from. My oldest sister was named Victoria. Same name as my paternal grandmother. None of the three of us have middle names.

 

[raisindiskids]

My grandmothers' names are Lorette and Laura so my mom named me Lori but she went further my two sisters and I are

Lori Ann
Lisa Ann
Lynn Ann

My husband is one of five and here are their names

J. Richard
