When I was young my uncle always called me Jack as in "idle jack" cos I was a lazy fooker so I named my first son Jack and he was well chuffed

My second son was named George after my uncle and he was even more chuffed

Uncle George is a millionaire and here`s hoping ;o)

[ummmm]

My daughter 'Claire' is named after his Mother....a lovely woman..

Jamie...is named because Claire had a crush on a boy in nursery called Jamie and hugged my belly daily saying 'it's a boy called Jamie'

Owen...Named after my Uncle..

Boring really...

[ummmm]

My Grandad's a millionaire....but his 'real' name is Chestnut....so no chance :-)

Hmmm

The 35-year-old fella' I regard as my son is called Dax. I got to know his mother when he was 6. (Long story - don't ask!). She told me that his name was an acronym for Diogenes Alexander Xerxes (but offered no explanation as to why someone living on a council estate in Sheffield should have any interest in Greek history!). While there are plenty of web references to the name 'Dax', none of them support that theory. (If it was true, 'my' Dax would be 'Alexander' twice over, since that's his middle name as well).

My own name (Christopher, which - in its full form - I hate) is probably derived from my mother's determination to 'move to a higher class'. She was an early prototype for Hyacinth Bucket. While born in the London Borough of Limehouse (at that time probably the poorest and most deprived community in England) and having 'entered into service' at an early age she was determined to emulate the lifestyle and aspirations of her employer (a Harley Street surgeon). That resulted in my name being chosen because it was reported, in early 1953, as being the most popular boy's name in the 'Births' column of 'The Times' ;-)

I agree Ummm, that's just too much!........you can't land him with a name like that!............

[ponjee]

lol... if i have kids i want them to have unique names. if i name them after anyone its probably going to be their middle name.
