My parents told me my grandma gave me my name. It means brave in another language. I really love my name plus its has a unique spelling. I have yet to find someone who has the same name as me
💗💗💗
My parents joked endlessly to my grandmother that they were going to call me Elvis. They didn't. My name is biblical but I don't think thats why they gave it to me.
Thanks for sharing 💞😊
They werent planning on having another kid, i was an accident on a drunken night. They literally switched up the letters of the alcohol they were drinking and there it was.
Such a privelage to tell this story till this day🤦♀️
Ahahahaha 🤭😆💞
My family thought we were Irish (it's a long story...) so my parents gave us all traditional Irish names. They heard mine from a fairytale actually, I'm named after a princess.
Nice 💞😊
Parents decided on a name at first and thought it rhymed with my brother's name so decided to scrap the idea and named me with a name that means brave.
Awesome 💞
Hehehe thanks. And I'd like to ask something over private message if it's okay with you
There was a disturbance in another country. So some of their citizens moved to my city. My oldest sister studied with some of their kids and they gave her list of new names from their country. And my siblings picked my name. Its about being glorious and leaving a legacy.
Awesome 💞😊
I don't know but I'm really glad they went with the one I have. Because they told me about some other name ideas they had for me and they all sounded terrible. 😅
Ahahahaha I'm glad you like your name 💞😊
My mom gave me my middle name, which is my grandmother's name. My dad named me after a princess.
So now my name is long, weird and dumb.
😊👍
Actually i never asked them but still my name is considered to be one of the shortest names in arabic language and it doesn't have a meaning
😊👍
All I know is my aunt and mom both like the name Jessica. My mom had a girl before her so I got the name.
Awesome name. I'm Nova 💞
My mom really wanted me to be called Léon and my dad insisted on falling me Tom.
So I ended up with Tom-Léon 🤷🏼♂️😄
So cool. I'm Nova. 💞😊
Oh wow, that’s a gorgeous name 🤔
Fits your looks then 😄
OMG that's the sweetest thing ever. Thank you. 💞💞💞💞💞
Haha yeah, I’m cheesy af 😂

😊👍
I stayed with out a name for five days then mom decided to name me after an actors because she thinks that she's gorgeous lol
Sweet 💞💞💞
My mom was originally going to name me Athena, but while she was looking through a book she saw my name, except it was spelled different, so she changed it around a bit to make it sound more unique.
💞💞💞
They basically pulled it out of their ass.
It has no significant meaning, and I wasn't named after anyone.
Lol 😆😆😆😆
My mom had a named picked out and everyone hated it. So she changed it the day I was born. She thought she was being creative and turns out my name is a actual name... its Scandinavian.
Wow😱♥️
My name is a mix of my mom's and my grandfather on her side. My second name was given to me by my dad.
Cute 💕
First name was carried over from my dad and his dad. Middle name was my mom's favorite movie character growing up.
Cool👍😎
Haha it's a weird story!
Actually one of my aunts dreamt of a man telling her to name me 'Ayesha'. Hence I got the name! ❤😁
Lol clever 💞😊
My dad loved the name Brooke and was hell bent on it. My middle name came from the combo of my grandmas names
Sweet 💞😊
