My name is Judd Hogue. I was named after my great grandpa, Judd. A lot of people ask me if it is short for anything, like Judidiah, but it's not. I have never actually met anyone with the same name as me, which if you ask me, is pretty cool. I like my name a lot for this reason, I enjoy having a unique name, because whenever my name is mentioned, it sort of eliminates the possibility that the people are talking about anyone else. I'm not exactly sure what my name means, but I'm pretty sure it has Hebrew roots. This is because from almost every website that I read about my name, Hebrew roots are mentioned. This is kind of ironic because I have very curly hair and many people have asked me if I was Jewish. I don't really have any nicknames that involve my name, the only nickname I really have is, Butterball or Butter. I got this nickname pretty much the second I was born. This is because my dad loves Butterball turkeys and when I was born, I was very big. Then, my dad compared me to the size of a Butterball turkey, so he called me Butterball or Butter for short, and it stuck.

My Name!! XD

My name is Nichole Dominique St. Onge. I love my name. It is actually really special to me. Fun Fact! I wasn't given a name at all til it was time to write it on my birth certificate. My parents changed it a lot, while I was till in the womb. My was going to be Cozette or Colette. So my intials would be CDS . C for my Babcia. D for my Grandma. My name is also spelled the French way to spell it, which is a little bit unusual. I have had many nicknames over the years. Right now, most people just call me "Nikki" or "Nik". I don't care really what people call me. I rather people remember my personality then my name.

My name is Gillian Faye Bowers. It originated in England around the 1800's, and is the feminines form of Julian. My name is pronounced with a hard, "G", but most people that don't know me will accidentally pronounce it with the "J" sound. My name isn't very common, but that isn't always a bad thing. having a uncommon name is good for many reasons, such as the fact that most people will probably remember your name.  My last name means brick layer because that is what my great ancestors used to do for a living.
My middle name is past down to me from my mothers grandmother. In the dictionary my name means fairy, or sky.
I don't really have any nicknames, I'm often called Jillian, Gill, or Julian by mistake. My name is special to me because in my lifetime I've only met five other people with my name.

My name is Kaitlyn Marie Swenson. I was not named after anyone, yet if I was not going to be named Kaitlyn I would have been named Khloe. However My middle name Marie, has been on my moms side of the family for many generations and was passed down to me. My mom has always been close with her family, so she blessed me with a piece of them. My last name Swenson is Swedish. However, my last name is my dads adopted last name. Therefore, my last name would have been Lauteri which is Italian.

My name is Stephanie Flores. I like the name Stephanie because it is not as commonly used and can be easily pronounced. I also like the way I spell it since most Stephanie's spell it with an f instead of a ph. I got my name from my dad's tennis coach's daughter which isn't that significant because most people are named after their relatives or their parent's idols but my name was used after a random girl I don't really know. However, this doesn't really bother me. On the other hand, my middle is very embarrasing to me. It is Griarte, which is very unique since it is my mom's maiden last name and she came from the Philippines. I don't really like sharing my middle name to anyone because most people can't pronounce it and most would say "what does that mean", since it isn't a regular american name. But I do appreciate that I can have my mom's side of the family a part of me, but I don't like to explain to everyone what it is.

My name is Kawika Dante Gage Texeira. My parents named me Kawika because they wanted a unique Hawaiian name. Not many people have my name, although I have met some on the internet. My parents named me Dante because my Mom wanted to name me that, but they decided on Kawika. My Mom doesn't really know why they chose Gage though. Texeira is a Portuguese last name. The Portuguese sailed to Hawaii from Portugal. I guess i like my names because they are all cool and unique.

My name is Sarah Newman. I was named after both of my aunts. I find this special because I can have a connection with them just because of my name. In other languages, Sarah means princess. This isn't really significant, but I just find it cool and interesting. I like my name and have no interest in changing it. Although it may not be the most unique name, I feel like it describes me well

My name is Gabriel Michael Sandoval,
I believe my first name was given to me from the bible, Gabriel was described as Gods second son.
Michael is my dads middle name who was also named after and angel in the bible.
The Sandoval line that my family has, has been last since the 1700's from what me and my grandfather know. We are a family from that was orginally from Spain then immigrated to Mexico then to New Mexico and Colorado. I absoutly love my Last name I just feel and know that there is so much history that comes with it and im just proud to be apart of that bloodline.

Hi my name is Faith Marie Fontana and my name is special to me because it is not very common. The meaning of my name is complete trust or confidence in someone or something. I find the meaning of my name very beautiful. My mom usually calls me Faithy as a nickname. If she is really mad at me, she will call me Faith Marie.

My first name was picked because my parents wanted to give me a name that was not very common. Unfortunately, that was right around the time when Jackson became a super popular name. My middle name is my dads middle name and when i was younger I always had people telling me that Schuyler is a girls name. They. ARE. WRONG!!!!!!!!!! Schuyler is a name for boys and girls. I love the unique spelling and when i was younger I could never spell it. It is normally spelled Skyler. My last name is boring.

My name is Abby Mae LaRue. I think the name Abby is pretty unique because in my case, it is not a shortened form of Abigail, like most people. My name is not inherited through my family, as far as i know, I am the first Abby in my family. The only reason my parents decided on Mae for my middle name was because they thought it sounded good with the name Abby. LaRue has a French origin roughly translating to "the path" or "the road." I don't really have any nicknames since Abby itself is already a shortened form of another name.  Although, I have been called Abz a few times but it never really stuck. (Also, I would like to apologize for the random entry that only says "My name is Abby Mae LaRue" I started to work on it on another computer and now i cant figure out how to edit or delete it :] )

It's Mia San Angelo. I keep locking myself out of it!
Anyways, the nicknames I go by mostly come from my theater background, such as "Mamma Mia", but a name that sticks with me is one that was given to me by one of the greatest friends I've ever had. We don't talk anymore, but the name had a lot of meaning. He called me "Missy". I know, it doesn't seem like much, but let me explain. He used to call me "Missing In Action", MIA, but that was too long, so he shortened it to "Missy". Let me tell you, he was quite proud of it. The more he called me by that name, it came to that point where he would never call me by my real name. Ever.
My name means a lot to me, and it makes me who I am. It could be one of those names you see on TV that you always remember.

My name is Mia Rose San Angelo. I love my last name, because it seems fancy and Italian. What makes it more special is that it's two words! My middle name, however, is not so unique, but I find it beautiful. It is indeed a family name, for my cousin and aunt hold the same name, as well as my soon to be second cousin. It pairs great with my first name, Mia, because in Italian it means "My rose", and I find hat stunning. I used to not like my first name. No one else shared the same name as me, and I thought it was really weird to say. "Meeyuh" or "Mee-uh". I am learning to love it, and I realize that it's a name that suits my personality. The name is upbeat and original. Yes, I have met other girls with the same name, but it doesn't come around often. That just means they are special, too.

I am Sydney Nicole Jolie Brien. My parents named me Sydney because they wanted to go to Sydney, Australia. However, my mother got pregnant very quickly after my parents got married, so they could not go. My first middle name is Nicole because that is my French grandmother's first name. It is also my mother's best friend's middle name. My second middle name is Jolie because it means "pretty" in French and my father is straight from France. I like my name a lot. I think that it makes me unique. Some people call me Syd. My mother has cute nick names for me like Sydney Bear and Sydney Bean, but that's only okay for her to say

My name is Seaenna Rachel Torgerson Simpson. I honestly like my name because not a lot of people are named Seaenna, and the spelling is unique. I've had my fair share of name projects, and I've looked up the meaning and there isn't a SINGLE website with the same spelling as mine, it's always Siena or Sienna. So i don't know the exact meaning, but Sien(n)a is a red brown color you may will see if you open a 48 pack of crayons. It is also the color of the clay found in Siena, Italy from which the color was originally named. My parents decided to name me Seaenna because my mom had a very common name growing up so she wanted all of her children to have unique names. Of the three of us, I think my sisters Cassia and Reilynn got the the most unique names, but I still love my name. It is a little annoying when people mispronounce my name, because it is spelled how it sounds, "Sea-enna". People will often say Sierra, Ciena (Syena or will give up when they see the spelling. My middle name, Rachel, is from my grandmother because her middle name is Rae so my parents just added the "chel" on the end.

This is Catherine Christine Manassee. For some reason my other paragraph about my name would not let me add more so here it is. Since I have European roots, the French translation of my name means pure/ clear. Also relating to my roots, I have the traditional spelling of Catherine instead of some of the more modern spellings using K's. As for having my middle name as Christine, it is because it is a family name. My grandma, mom, and I all share the same middle name. The funniest part about having my middle name as Christine is when people try to guess my first name and guess it as Christine instead of Catherine. I guess both names have always fit me. Now for when it comes to my last name, that is when everything goes down hill. No one seems to ever say my last name right on the first try. Manassee is definitely not a name you see everyday. Growing up I've had to correct people a lot. Luckily growing up with a first name like Catherine, I didn't meet that many people with the same name as me when I was little. I only meet one and we became automatic best friends because we thought it was so cool that we had the same name. Now that I am in high school, I am meeting a lot more people with the same name as me. Yes it can be a bit confusing in class sometimes, but since I usually go by Cat it is pretty easy to work out. Other nicknames I go by include Catwoman and Kit Kat.

My name is Mason. It a common Irish name. I didn't really know how common my name was until I got my first social media account. Mason Russell is extremely hard to get on any website. I also know a few Masons at this and other schools. I have a friend Mason that I met because we have the same name. We even have an inside joke about it. Although I think that it's awesome there is not much of a significance to my first name. My middle name, Dale, was given to me because it was my grandfather's middle name. It is important to me because it reminds me of my grandfather every time I see Dale. He was a sweet old man that I didn't get to see much not only because he lived a few states over he passed away when I was little. I do remember how he would take out his dentures and attempt singing the national anthem and other songs. Watching him trying to sing was hysterical. When my younger sister was first able to talk she'd call me "Maymay". I would also get called "Mas" as a nickname by my parents.

My name is Kendall Elaine Cherry. My first name came from a girl who was the daughter of one of my dad's colleagues. My parents loved the name and thought it was very interesting and unique. My middle name was my grandma's, Janice Elaine, and she died before I was born, so I think that was sort of a tribute to her. Judging by what my mom has told me about her, she sounds more like she would be one of my parents than my grandma because we sound so similar. Some of my friends from my church call me Ken, but I also like the nickname Lane or Lanie for Elaine.

My name is Erin Caitlin Holmes. The name Erin was chosen for me because in Ireland, "Erin" stands for the small island Ireland and my great grandpa was irish so it made sense. My middle name is Caitlin because that was the name my dad wanted for me. However, my parents both agreed that Erin was best suited for me so they had Caitlin be my middle name. My name has never bothered me that much except for when people spell my name "Aaron" instead of "Erin". It is a somewhat uncommon name and is mostly common for guys and not girls. I feel that my name has always best fitted me and I could never really imagine my name being anything else. My last name, Holmes, is either British or Scottish or a mixture of both I'm not exactly sure but i think its cool because it reminds me of Sherlock Holmes.

My name is Jake "Young Money" William Snyder and I think my name is lit. My family and friends think my name only adds to my pure, unadulterated ego but I think it only helps me become more awesome than I already am. My nicknames include "Young Money," "The Notorious J.A.K.E.," "Lit dude," "Justyn's best friend," "Erick's best friend," "Young Easy," "God of this realm," "One and only," and "The best ever." I think my nicknames are lit and incredible and I would never do anything to change them.

I used to think I was the only person in the world with my name. Haha. Then I got into middle school. Not so. Although my name is kind of unique. 'Evelyn' is a derivative of 'Eve', and roughly translates into "Life giving". So that's why I keep everyone awake. I'm like caffeine as a person. I really like my name because of its unique-ness, and I don't shorten it because it's too awesome to be shortened. My mom and dad just kind of chose that name from out of the blue, so I have no interesting story to go with how I got my name. :(

My last names came from my mother's maiden name, Yesenia Nayarez Weber, & my biological father's last name, Francisco Luis Pedrego.

My original name was Meilynn, given to me by my birth parents when I was born. After one full day with them, I was adopted by my birth parents Laura and Blake Creamer.

Lots of people have the same first name as me. It's kind of a common name and that used to really bother me. I wanted a unique name like the characters in my books. I used to lament the fact that I'd never be a Branwen or a Rhea. It took a long time to feel comfortable being one of two or three Brianna's in a class and having to decide who would go by Bree, Brianna, or B. I used to blame my parents for not being creative when naming me. I never really thought that they might have intentionally given me a name that most people knew. But that's exactly what they did. Or, what my dad did to be more exact. My dad's name is Basil Giles Mckiddy. You read that right, BASIL GILES. He grew up constantly having to account for his name, saying things like "no, I'm not British. It's just a family name." It really affected him. I remember when he used to debate with my mom about whether he should change his first name to something more normal, like Mike or Ken. He always felt that he stuck out like a sore thumb. So when I was born, he made it his mission to give me a name that wouldn't be difficult for anyone. I may not have a unique first name, but the reasons behind it are one of a kind and totally steeped in my dad's life growing up. I know now that my name is a testament to my dad's love for me; he wanted me to have an easier time than he did.

My middle name, Rose, used to embarrass me to no end. It is very feminine and flowery. When people used to ask me my middle name, my first impulse was always to lie and choose something more gender neutral. I was not a very girly kid growing up, and I assumed people would laugh at me if they realized this scruffy kid who refused to wear anything other than black denim was named for a flower. In fact, I wasn't actually named for a flower. I was named for my grandma, Pamela Rose. Thinking of her makes the name feel more like a part of me, like something that's actually mine. My grandma was one of the strongest and most tenacious people I've ever known. She hid her siblings in a cellar from bombs. She crossed an ocean to start a new life at the age of 25. She was braver than I can imagine. So when I think of her, I feel less embarrassed of my name. It reminds me that roses are strong too. They have thorns. They protect themselves.

What is the personal significance of your given name (first, middle and last)?  Does your name mean different things to you, your family, and your friends?  What are your nicknames?  What do your nicknames mean to you and those who call you those names?
