When I arrived in 1950 dad wanted to name me Cornelius. Mom didn't like it. I wound up as Glenn..... ( both my parents were big fans of Glenn Miller during WW2 ). They had been undecided about a middle name until the day I was born. Which happened on my uncle Jim's birthday. Hence my middle name James.

I am named after the doctor that delivered me. My mother lost two before me and was not to have another. I came out OK. We was a very close friend of the family.

Dunno. The milkman, maybe?
No one in my family, before or since has the same name. Good riddance.

First name cause it was popular at the time and has a Scot Connection. Middle is Donald after my father also a Scot name. Kinda odd cause the Scots are the illegitemit part of the family.

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

First name is drawn from my Dad's little brother who drowned as a boy as well as having a Saint tie in for my Mom. Middle name is my paternal Grandfather's first name. Nobody ever used it (everyone called him Porky) and it's as important to me as my last name now.

Deborah Lynn Veronica, I have been told I was named after the last three girlfriends my father had before he married my Mom.
I recently found out that I had an Aunt Veronica who died at the age of three, I suspect that explains the last name more so than the girlfriend idea.
