Not me, but for my older brother, my mom was considering the name Chad.
I wonder how that would have worked out, with the memes and all.
Not the answer to your question, but my family had a tradition of passing the same name down for generations (think this is pretty common?). Every other person just ended up going by a nickname, but it was still sooo confusing. Always getting calls for someone else and having to explain that, yeah my name is “abc”, but I go by “xyz”. I felt a little guilty, but we did not pass that tradition on to our kids.
If you haven’t read/seen it, the book/movie Holes has a main character who’s name is Stanley Yelnats III, after passing down the name from generation to generation.
“Yelnats” is “Stanley” backwards, Shia LaBeouf plays the main Stanley, and it’s a fantastic movie from 2003.
My father wanted to name me Inigo. Unfortunately he passed shortly before my birth. On an unrelated note, do any of you have 6 fingers?
Kirk, after Captain James T.
She watched A LOT of TV while carrying me! (I’m named after another TV though…)
My brother’s middle name is Keaton after Micheal Keaton. Our mom went to see Batman 1989 in theaters when she was pregnant with him and loved him and the movie so much that she made that his middle name.
Also yes, my brother grew up to be a massive Batman fan.
Angelica and Olivia.
Little Dick.
