I don't know who I was named after, but apparently they named a saint after me.

My first name was drawn from a hat. My middle name was the same as my Father. My last name was the name of my fathers.

My first name was a name my Mother could get my Dad to agree on. My middle name is my Dad's first name.

Jeremiah Johnson, never saw the movie but I’ve lived a lot on my life in the woods from childhood on and even now sneak off whenever I can to the solitude of the gorge I live in if Im not traveling for work. I’m fairly certain the movie was Robert Redford in the wilderness. I’ve been meaning to watch it.

Interesting one, my 8 yo’s middle name is Evard. It’s not a real name. First flag over Guadalcanal was a tiny backpack flag my Wife’s great uncle flew and was recognized by the army. He enlisted under age and Marines wouldn’t take him but the Army changed his name from Jenkin to “Evard J.” He did 2-3 years then the Marines enlisted him at 18. Pretty cool story about him and his wife when he had lost most recollection he still remembered Armistice day. Probably google it, Jenkin Schnell “Uncle Jenks” and his wife Myrtle. It was a nice article. Pease Airforce base recognized the Flag they hung wasn’t the first In a correspondence to me but with most of the family not knowing I thanked them for confirming and let it go. Another brave soldier’s family has a memorial that means a lot to them. No point in muddying either heroes memory now. His mother had sewn the flag on his pack when he left. Imagine that today, a 15 year old heading to war and his mother being that supportive. We need more men like that today.

Ok...... My dear old going nowhere in life dad named me after the star of his favorite cowboy show in the late 50,s and early 60,s
Show called: "The Texan".
Gee thanks dad.... Name me after a felon turned actor.
4 letter name ......
Loved by few. Hated by many. Forgotten by none...... Of those who have met and interacted with me.
My grandfather actually thougt so little of my dad( I concured) that he asked me to change my last name to Morrison when I would turn 18. And he would pay for it. He never said that to my brother. We both knew he was a mini me ......
I didnt do it. But understood his thinking 100%

A cousin, never knew why. Middle name from Dads half brother. If he knew what would happen after his passing, Dad wouldn't have done that. I prefer to think I was named after Robert E Lee's estate.

My parents didn't have much imagination. I was named after Douglas County Kansas where I was born. The first Douglas in my family lineage.

General Douglas MacArthur of WWII fame. I was born in 1944 That is where I got my middle name. I found out about 8 years ago that my 6 grade teacher named his son after me. That was quite a surprise.

Parents became devoted Christians soon after they married - so for the firstborn they chose names of two biblical figures important to them - one also being the first name of my maternal grandfather.

First and last, from dad and his dad. Middle, after a friend of the family, and my disfunctioal parents got the spelling wrong, going for the common rather than the unique. Fugged me from the beginning... Up until about 3.5 years ago I went by my miss-intended middle name finally got tired of explaining why I am not using my first name. So now I am me and I have never been Normand.
Just to complicate life I gave my first daughter five names and my second one four. Have a grandson now with four also, however, they are correctly spelled.
Made up a new one, Novi, for my youngest. Then we moved to Montana next to my folks and rummaging through their junk, they had an intercom system that had the brand name Novi on it. Trippy.
