Well me and my dad are named for the same people (his granddads, my great-grandads) James Hunter and Charles Bryant. My dads name is James Bryant and mine is Charles Hunter.

 

[Optiluiz]

I'm named after my Grandfather, but my name means Warrior Prince... Rabbit... Long story...

Damien my dad was a HUGE fan of the original 1976 The Omen movie... kinda sucks that I'm named after the Antichrist

 

[Chemical Alia]

Spoiler

 

[snappydog]

Well... My first and middle name collectively mean something along the lines of 'bearer of Christ, in a valley'. Surname's habitational from a small village in Somerset, where it apparently means 'small farm'. So... I guess I'm the (atheist) bearer of Christ in a valley in a farm, somehow.

My First name comes from Brian Boru, a badass in his day because now Brian means brave, and my middle was the name of my dad's firefighter friend who died right before I was born.

 

[erefe]

Sarah Jane - my dad was a doctor who fan...

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Sean is the Irish version of 'John'. John is a Greek name derived from a Hebrew name meaning 'Yahweh is merciful'. So mine name is actually the third or fourth iteration of it. Neat.

 

[SilentCom]

My first name is derived from a Hebrew name from a certain stone cutter in the Bible. My last name is German and means barrel maker.

Funny, because I am neither Jewish nor do I make or consume anything from a barrel...

 

[Errumill]

According to a quick Google search, my name is Old Norse for "ever powerful/ruler of the people" :-D

 

[ELD3RGoD]

Harrison - Named after Harrison Ford because my mum fancied the guy! and apparently it means I can be extremely social yet suffer from self-pity and depression (pretty accurate) and that I would be better company to be around if I could keep my opinion closed. (Very true)

Jay - Named after the bird, or similar to Homer J Simpson?

My surname - Named for Walton's Castle, Yeehaw!

 

[Sleepy Sol]

My first name is Brandon, which seems to have different meanings in English, Irish, Old English, whatever. English: from the beacon hill, broom hill, or gorse hill, Irish: little raven, prince, or brave, Old English: fiery hill, sword.

Middle name is Lee, which is apparently of Old English origin meaning pasture or meadow.

My last name, Allen, means harmony, stone, or noble in Celtic.

This is all according to google, so I'm not sure how accurate these are.

 

[DannyJBeckett]

I don't know where my first name came from, I think it was just that my Mother liked it. However, I do know that my middle name comes from my Great-Grandfather.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

I was named after this handsome devil.

Spoiler: Sir Paul Mccartney

I am quite proud.

 

[Nabohs]

Apparently my name in Sanskrit Means Handsome, which is weird because I was told that my name is taken from an avatar of god though hinduism

My name is Shoban

 

[Silent Anima]

My name, Ethan, is Hebrew and means 'Strong, firm, impetuous'. My mom just liked the name so that's why she named me that. I don't think my surname, Spalinger, means fuckall; though, my family is from Switzerland so... uhh... I dunno.
