I was named for my grandfather.

Funny story. We were getting new photocopiers at our office and the President of the small company came to make the pitch. After she was finished we were chatting and she said "Wanna - my grandather's name was Wanna".

I said "So was mine."

She said "Last name was Bebwana."

I said "So was mine."

Her: "Grandmother was Maria."

"So was mine."

Turns out her grandparents emigrated from the same village in Transylvania that mine did, at around the same time. Mine settled in small farming town, hers settled in small tobacco town 50 miles away.

The village only had about 6 family names, so we're related somewhere way back.
