Im not asking people to disclose their real names, but just wondering if there are any funny stories to how their parents came to their choice of name for you?
My name came because i was laying heavy on my mothers bladder and everywhere she went there was a paper towel dispenser with this name on it..  |

Apparently my mum wanted 2 boys. The firstbwas to be called Dean Martin and the 2nd was going to be called Jerry Lewis.
I was the 2nd child but my mother bailed on the idea of calling me Jerry. Instead....as she was a big fan of Basil Brush also I got the name I did
Not sure which is worse! |

"My mum couldn't decide so she just made it up.
Not surprisingly I've never met someone with the same name  "
id quite like a unique name
i chose my daughters name because no one born in the town that year had her name. Was gutted for her when one day from Nursery she said mummy my name is now 'Amber H'.. i said why the 'H' cos we've a new girl with the same name as mine..
she was so sad |

Nothing special...
I'm not actually called Ruby - shockingly enough  - but my mum wanted to call me Natasha, my biological dad wanted to call me Natalie. My mum won.  |

My parents wanted to call me Daniel but my Dad's Mum didnt like it. The nurses said I should be called David as I was born on St Davids day but they werent keen on that either. So I got Michael after my Dad and there is nobody I would rather be named after. |

I prefer the one I ended up with, partly cos my biological dad was a git.
I used to dislike being called by my full name, but now I appreciate that it is a beautiful name. Not really a rare name but not particularly common either. |

I rarely introduce myself as Kim.. always Kimberly and a good 70% of the time people will straight away cut it down to Kim.
Friends will call me Kimmi or Kimbo. |

Kimberly sounds like it really suits you
Most casual friends tend to call me Tash, whereas family & friends I've known for a long time call me Tasha instead, but the only people who really call me Natasha are an ex & his family. Like you though, I always tend to introduce myself as Natasha. |

"Named after the midwife that delivered me  "
That's quite sweet!
My best friend named her daughter Eden, after a really nice nurse who cared for her mum after she had a stroke. |

"Not sure, but it is a very popular Swedish name
Your called abba ikea shag tonightason? "
No, but my name is jonas, meaning "dove". I did some research on my name:
Because in ancient greece it was believed that birds were sent by gods as a sign to people. From this it is assumed that the name Jonas means a peaceful being. As a variation of Jonah, it can be considered to mean 'accomplishing', and a 'gift from God'. |

My mom wanted my name for my older sister, but dad thought it was just too mean to give such an unusual name to a child. Four years later I got it...Top Ten Girl's name for ten years, and Top 25 for another ten years more.
I once had a class with 15 classmates....half girls, half boys, and 5 with my name.
I still like it though. |

Mine is pretty similar. My sister is 13 months older than me. My parents were convinced I was going to be a boy. They had a name sorted. I was born and they just added an a to the boys name to make the girls name |

My parents were teachers so they have to pick a name that was unusual enough, it didn't remind them of one of a billion nightmare kids they'd taught.
And my "unusual" name is actually very common now.
If I was a boy however, I would be called Tim.
I'm very grateful I'm a girl. |

My first name is fairly well known,biblical and came about from an Elton John song that was in the charts around the time of my birth.
My middle name is far less common and I've yet to meet or even hear of anyone else sharing it,one of the reasons I like it I suppose.
Ossian,a character from a collection of poems by old(1760)Scottish poet James MacPherson.
So aye,as middle names go....I like mine |

My dad was a bit if a rolling stone when he was young, and even when my mom was pregnant with me, he knew there was always a good chance that he wouldn't be around much, if he was around at all, he fought and fought to settle down but he couldn't.
He convinced my mum to give me a name that would stop me from becoming like him, and to stand up for myself, after months of fighting it she gave in, and one spring day in 1972 years was born, and named "Sue" |

My parents didn't like the popular names like Susan,Tracy and Sharon,so I was given a Greek name and my twin sister was named after the Queen. I've been asked quite a few times if I'm Greek or Italian. |

The pronunciation of my name is what defines my name. Think my mum was just having a laugh because people never get it right and always correct me like I got my own name wrong! |

Pretty boring story for an unusual name. I could understand them choosing it if they were big fleetwood Mac fans or Welsh!
