Samantha Case: my name

2018-08-09 16:20:45 UTC

How my parents came up with my name is because it’s a multi name. This means it has more than one name in it. The two names are Samuel and Antha, Antha means flower in Greek, while the Sam in my names short for Samuel, but the name Samantha all together means leader and a good listener. Another reason my parents chose my name is because Samantha wasn’t super popular but yet was not a super weird or unique. My parents did not know a lot of Samantha‘s.

The name Renee means “reborn” in Greek.

How I got my name

2018-08-09 20:33:14 UTC

Rosaline-

I got my first and middle name from very old pieces of literature. My first name comes from William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” My Middle name comes from a poem called “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe. They said they did not want a name that was common. They wanted something that was very old. And that is how they came up with the name Rosaline.

Dimitri - My Name

2018-08-09 20:34:13 UTC

I got my name because my mom needed to name me something. I like my name because it means a lot to me. My name sometimes doesn’t fit my personality because I’m not always what it means. People made assumptions about me because my name was hard to pronounce.

Myriah- How I got my name

2018-08-09 20:34:24 UTC

My dad was the person who named me Myriah cause my mom named my sister Adriana because that is my mom's middle name and Charlize because that is the girls name for Charles which is my dads name so my dad loves princess Jasmine so the is what he wanted to name me Jasmine but my mom said no so then my mom came up with Alyssa, Vanessa,and Olivia. My dad said oh no so then my mom said well what about Mariah spelled (M-EE-RR-AA-A) Meria which is the Hispanic way but he said no and my mom said well I don’t want it spelled Mariah so later that night my mom went to this thing called bunko where she plays game with the teachers she used to teach with. My mom told them “this babys name is Mariah Alexis but we don't know how to spell it” and they said well what about Myriah from Myriah of the wind the song and that is how I got my name

My mom named me Andres because Andres was a famous Mexican actor. He played in many tv shows and lived a long life. Juan was named after my grandfather. He was very tough on my father and he ended up serving our country.

2018-08-09 20:36:04 UTC

2018-08-09 20:36:09 UTC

My mom told me that when she was little there was a little girl with a trampoline. Mom said that she was really nice and ever since she fell in love with the name Alexis . My mom also said that she also liked the way it sounded so she named me Alexis . My mom named me and my dad named Alaina.

Erick

11124969 — 2018-08-09 20:36:15 UTC

My parents named me Erick because Erick is my dad’s name. I like my name because it is the same name as my dad and i am really close to my dad.
Erick means always leader but i am not always the leader.

Kyla

2018-08-09 20:37:15 UTC

My parents were not agreeing on my name so they bought a baby book and found Kyla Jade and obviously Rice was supposed to be my last name and that is how my name was picked out

Mia

2018-08-09 20:37:33 UTC

I like my name because I believe it suits my personality and my identity. My parents chose it because of what it means in Spanish, “mine”, although I prefer the original meaning, “The sea or Bitterness”. At times I just go with the flow and am calm. But when I am annoyed or angry I am bitter and stubborn.

Ayslie Espinoza

2018-08-09 20:38:20 UTC

My dad decided what my name was going to be and they really liked the name Ayslie they had thought they had made it up but, after I was born they realized that my name was a boy’s name so they changed the spelling to make it more like a girl’s name.

Haarika

2018-08-09 20:38:55 UTC

At first, my name was still be pondered, then, an idea struck!

How about Sita Mahalaxshmi!

Really? Were people in school REALLY going to be able to say that?

How about something shorter? Something more Special?

Like Nihaarika? Yes! Wait, No. That doesn’t sound that natural.

How about Haarika? Yes! That sounds perfect!

Clarissa Haddad

11129244 — 2018-08-09 20:42:19 UTC

My mom gave me my name because she fell in love with the name Clarissa. She had no other options just knew from the first day that my name is Clarissa. My dad could not argue because they both loved the name and they did not want anything else. They knew that when I grow up and do something big they want people to remember me by Clarissa Haddad. My middle name is my grandmother’s name Karam, and my last name comes from my dad. A lot of people spell my name wrong since they think there are 2 r’s and 1 s but it is the other way around. I love my name and I would not change it.

Flair Koch

11126903 — 2018-08-09 20:43:11 UTC

My name comes from when my mom was in 6th grade. She was hanging out with her best friend at the time and said “My first daughters name is going to be Flair.” Her friend said “That is such a pretty name.” Next thing you know my mom is cradling me in her arms in the hospital. My mom in 6th grade would play family and the family’s last name was love. The person who played her daughter she pretended her name was Flair. My middle name comes from when my mom got her first Cabbage Patch Doll. Her Cabbage Patch Doll‘s name was Abby. She would walk around the house saying Abby. My last name comes from my dad, my moms last name is Zaroff.

Dezmond Aguilar

2018-08-09 20:43:41 UTC

I was given my name because my Mom and Dad were probably thinking of names. My mom’s friend told her the name “Dezmond” so my mom liked that name because of how rare it was. My mom had no clue what it meant or its origin. I looked up my name but with a “s” instead of a “z”. Apparently it means “Man of Desmond”. I looked up the name and it’s a Kindom somewhere.

Priscilla

11122714 — 2018-08-09 20:44:54 UTC

My parents named me Priscilla because my mothers mom was named that so she decided to call me this name.

Taeler’s name history

2018-08-09 20:45:13 UTC

I was given my name because my mom loved the name Taylor but wanted to spell it uniquely. From what my mom has told me I feel the conversation of my parents was like this...

Mom said “ I think we should name her Taeler, T-A-E-L-E-R.”

Dad said “ She’s going to hate you from naming her differently because of mis-pronouncing and other reasons.”

Mom said “ I think she is going to love it because it is unique and no one else would probably have that spelling in her class(es).”

...

Eventually my mom won THAT argument. Obviously.

My middle name is the same as my mom’s middle name. I guess she won to pick my name.

I think my name fits me... at least I think.

11124885 — 2018-08-09 20:48:52 UTC

my name is at first glance weird and people ask me if I work for Sony but I don’t. When I was born my great grandma wanted my name to be James but it ended up being my middle. I don’t know why I have nick names but I do, and I don’t like being called Sunny D. I think my name fits me... at least I think. I don’t know why my parents chose this name or they just thought of sunny then said that’s a girls name then changed it to an o.

Doctor: “PUSH PUSH PUSH”

Mom: “ahhahahahhahah”

Doctor: “it’s a girl”

Mom and Dad: “wait what?”

Doctor: “yup it’s a girl congrats”

Mom: “We thought it was going to be a boy”

Dad: “Oh my god she’s so pretty” he sighs “wait what are we going name her”

Mom: “umm can you go by a baby name book” she pauses “deciding on a name took me a long time and it ended up being a girl”

My dad leaves to go to barns and nobles and then came back about 35 mins later

Mom: “hey honey did you get the book”

Dad: “yeah”

My dad handed it to my mom

My mom opens the book and flips through the “A” section “what about Abigail”

Dad: “I hate it”

Mom: “ I found it... Annabelle”

Dad: “that’s is, but what about the middle name”

Mom: “Carmela for the middle, but can we change the spelling a little?”

Dad: “sure like what kind of changes?”

Mom: “we could take out the last L and E” (Annabel)

Dad: “ok that the name ‘Annabel’”
