I was named after my father, Donald, I go by my middle name, Richard. I don't know where the Richard came from, they must have known I was going to be lion hearted.

Jim (James) from my uncle on my father's side. Middle name which is a closely guarded secret is the first name of both of my grandfathers.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

My parents had a professor in the college where they met who they had a great deal of admiration for. He had a heart attack just before I was born and was in the s hospital when I was born, so he was first non-family member to hold me. His name was Perl Francis and my middle name is Francis. When I complained about about having a girls middle name they asked me if he was worth naming a child after and I had to agree, and when they told me his first name (I knew him as “Mr.Pickett” I said I was ok with Francis.
My first name is random, but my great grand father, great uncle, father, and son all have the same initials (EFW) which is kinda cool.

I am named after my paternal great grandfather, paternal grandfather and my father, so I am the IV (fourth). It stops with me, though, as I have no male heirs--just two wonderful daughters!

Reading my question, should I have said, 'Whom"? I'm not so good with those.

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.

Mine's rather obvious, don't you think. My father, around the time I was born.

Great, Great Grandfather, James Craig Taylor, Confederate and U.S. Army Captain in both at one time or another.
All Taylors going back as far the late 1600's have either James, Craig, Robert or Creede as one of their names or a combination of both. I'm Craig

I dunno, but he must have gotten around. There were 13 in my first grade class , 5 of us with the same first name. And not one Lawrence among us, so it couldn't have been Welk.
One poor bastid didn't even have a middle name...

I have two names...one in English, the other in Hebrew. My English name was picked by my dad in honor of General MacArthur. My dad came to the US fleeing from Nazi Germany and when he turned 18 (1946), he enlisted and was sent to Japan as part of the Army of Occupation. My dad so loved the US and what MacArthur did, he named me for him (Marc Arthur, not MacArthur, but close enough).
My Hebrew name is based on deceased relatives.
