No. My name is actually the combined shortened names of my parents:
(An)tonio & (Adel)aida = Annadel. They just opted to add another "n". :-)

Yes. My Uncle Kyle. Very proud to carry that name.

Yes - my mother and Joe Louis (boxer). My mother wanted to call me Mary after herself, but didn't want me to get stuck with 'little Mary'! The night I was conceived (in 1946) my mom and dad were all set to listen to a Joe Louis fight on the radio as the evening's entertainment. Well, Joe knocked out his opponent in the first round - end of fight! So, they had nothing else to do, and.....................voila! She added Lou to the Mary! Then she made it all one word - Marilou. This is the gospel truth!

Yeah..I was given the name after my mother gave it to me Don't know why I love her but I do.

My middle name, Lorraine, is my mother's name. My brother's middle name, William, is my father's name. I'm just grateful that we didn't get the grandparents' names... Oscar or Herman, Frieda or Winnifred.... yikes!!!!

Our family seems to carry the name Michael done from Generation to Generation, My uncle, grandfather, grand uncle are all called Michael.

Yes i am - after Heather Sears, the actress!

yes.

yes a doctor that saved my mothers life.

Yep...."Whateveritis" - from time of birth...Mom used to answer "whateveritis" I'm happy. So some family members nickname me "Whateveritis". Never used it in person directly ONLY as an user name online...

Elizabeth is my "second" name-I started using it because of Queen Eizabeth. Have always love the word "queen"...Don't you think that I am queen. Not to confused people...My name is "Elizabeth" by you can call me "Lizzy". As far as my "first" birth name...I don't like it unless I have too:-)
