    Parents knew someone of noble blood and character when they saw it...thus my name Gina, which means a queen.
    Of course, THEY say they picked the name because they had some kind of obsession with Gina Lollobrigida at the time. :rolleyes: I got called by that full name so many times I learned to greatly dislike her!

    Dr. Bob and Frogman - if I was a betting man - I'd take your money!!

    My guess is:
    Dr. Bob - if you look on your father's birth certificate - you'll not find Sr on it.

    Frogman - if you look on your fahter's birth certificat - you'll not find I on it.

    That's one of the few things I learned from my high school senior English teacher!!

    I got so carried away picking on Dr. Bob and Frogman - i forgot to tell my story.

    Daniel Floyd Todd

    Daniel - After my grandfather Daniel Henry Todd and Greatgreatgrandfather - Daniel Todd.

    Floyd - after my mother's brother - Floyd Wass.

    Todd - got it from my daddy.

    Humorous note - our son is Kelly Daniel Floyd Todd - on several of his important papers - it says Floyed - because he didn't know how to spell it. ;)

    Grandson - Daniel Alexander Todd - because we've had this every-other generation "Daniel" thing going since my gggrandfather came to America in 1847!!

    I'm Sheila because my maternal grandmother ( the one I liked ) chose it. I don't particularly like it tho. But, I was nearly a Frances, :eek: so I think I got off lightly.

    Following a stupid English tradition, I have several names and a hyphenated family name...After my father, uncle and paternal grandmother's maiden name..hence,,,James Roy Arthur Sykes-Stevens. When I became a Canadian citizen, I dropped the hypenated Sykes, and apparently that is legal. Now to work on the other monikers.

    Cheers,

    James

    Dan, you caught me. Obviously glitch.

    My Dad was NOT a "sr", although he even had that on his checks, etc. Amazing. Never thought about it (and probably neither did he).

    Guess he was just happy to have survived the Philippines in WWII, home to wife and daughter than was already a year before he saw her, and then lost a baby. Have a frail little boy (me), know the family name is carried on, so gave me the ugly suffix "JUNIOR".

    Ugh.

    The pastor (Methodist) of my parent's church when I was born was Edwin.

    Dr. Bob,

    There are several of us on the BB who are glad your father survived the Philippines - and fathered a "frail little boy."

    I am often blessed by that "frail little boy's" postings and am often amused by them.

    I am prone to picking out little details and making myself a pest about them.

    Examples:
    1) People talk about a cement floor, a cement sidewalk, a cement wall! Cement is a powerdy substance that wouldn't make a very good floor, sidewalk, or wall. What they are talking about is concrete - which is the hydrated result of mixing water, cement, and aggregate and letting them "set up" [hydrate] or cure.

    2) In New York State - we install guide rail - not guard rail. Guard rail suggests that we are guarding you - and is a liability problem if your vehicle goes through it and you are injured, etc. Guide rail suggests we are showing you where to go - and if you do not follow our direction - it's most likely your own fault.

    Now I explained more of myself than I ought to have explained - perhaps some of the mystique has now faded. (Would that Blackbird explain himself!!! :rolleyes: )

    [For Dan-the-nitpicker]

    An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah, you're an engineer -- you're in the wrong place."

    So the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.

    One day Peter calls Satan up on the telephone and asks, "So, how's it going down there?" Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."

    Peter replies, "What??? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake; he should never have gotten down there; send him up here."

    Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him."

    St. Peter says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue."

    Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where areYOU going to get a lawyer?"

    My name was to be Eric, but back in 1959, the dads were in the waiting room and the mom's were pumped full of drugs for the pain of childbirth, so I was born and the nurse asked "what is his name?" and mom said Mark. She doesn't remember saying it and they have no idea where the name Mark came from (in this instance) but Mark stayed. I fear one day I'll find out that Mark was the milkman.
    My kids on the other had.. Marshall was named after the great Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, John Marshall;
    Samuel was named after the judge in the Bible,
    #3 son was named William Carey for you guessed it, the father modern missions and finally;
    my daughter was Regina was named for her great grandmother, who led more people to Christ than anyone I ever knew (my wife's gramma).

    I am out to confuse the geneologists.

    My Grandfather was William Raymond

    My Father is William Robert, at least that is what his parents told him. However his birth certificate just says William.

    I am William Robert, Jr. for you other Jrs. out there I happen to LIKE having my fathers name. Of course if he isn't really William Robert am I really Jr. or not? :confused:

    My son is William Robert, III.

    My daughter is Katelin Rose. Kate is from my grandmother, Katie. Lin is from Jeanne's Mom, Linda, and Rose if from Jeanne's grandmother, Rosina.

    Bill

    Remember the song that started out:

    My name is Michael, I've got a nickel, I've got a nickel shiney and new.

    I'm going to buy me, all kinds of candy, that's what I'm going to do!

    Aww! I thought that was:
    My name is Jenny,
    I found a penny,
    I found a penny
    Shiney and new . . .

    I used to sing that to my beautiful little daughter.
    I wanted a name for her that no one could turn
    into a nasty little nickname, as they had mine.
    So we chose Jennifer Le.

    Were we ever amazed when my husband's
    father walked right up to the window to see her
    for the first time, and he said, "Well, hello, little
    Macaroni!"

    We lived in Minnesota, and there was a brand of
    pasta there that was Jenny Lee.

    Well, what a sweet nickname. It stuck, we loved
    it, and when we call her that, she still glows.
