Who Did Your Parents Name U After??

Or what was their motivation behind the moniker of choice!

Mom liked the way singer Bobby Darin spelled his last name...thus Darin was born. Middle name Hugh...after my Father's Uncle Hugh Porter. Poindexter....some slave master!

it was actually my sister that named me..
my dad wanted april because i was born in april rolleyes lol he tried!

Samille... Sam from my daddy's middle name, Samuel
and ille from my sisters highschool bff @ the time, Camille

so whenever i tell people how to say my name if they're reading it alloud, i just say "Camille but with an S instead."

My dad claims that he named me Julie after his drunk, slutty cousin. My mom, however, has a different story. She said she always liked the name Julie and had planned to name my oldest brother that (if he was a girl) before she even met my father.

I wasn't named after anyone.My parents named me Jessica just 'cause they liked the name. I kind of wish they gave me a different name though. There are a lot of Jessicas pout I also find it strange that they gave me an American name when everyone else in my family has Hispanic names confuse
