babynamesWhat's the story behind your name? Where did you parents find it? Is there a person they named it after? What's it mean? Anything.
For me (my name being Tamsin), my mum read it in a book when she was in her teens and pictured the name on a little golden-haired girl. My sister was born, with red hair, and then after came me! Oh, and my name means 'twin'. Which is quite possibly the most boring meaning ever.
But what about you?

Date: 2006-10-17 09:24 pm (UTC)I was looking in a baby name survey book that asked people what came to mind when different names were read to them. Apparently lots of people think Brandi is a curly-haired blonde who brings a lot of attention to herself by wearing lots of makeup, short skirts and flirting with boys. It went on to say that most people think Brandi is either sweet or a sarcastic snob. I have blonde curly hair and am extremely sarcastic! These people must have known me at some point.

Date: 2006-10-19 11:37 pm (UTC)My brother is Matthew John, John after my father and grandfather. If he had been a girl he would have been Jessie Elizabeth (Jessie was Mae's sister's name, Elizabeth was my maternal grandmother's name and my paternal grandmother's middle name, her mother's middle name, her mother's middle name, etc.) My parents had a hard time deciding on another girl's name, though, so they were glad he was a boy.
My parents are John Howard (after his father, John Alexander, and his uncle) and Susan Nannette (after nothing in particular that I know of). Neither one is overly fond of their names. My mom HATES her middle name and never uses it.

Date: 2006-10-19 11:41 pm (UTC)And Meredith means "protector of the sea" The "mer" part means sea, I assume. It comes from Welsh. I take it they didn't really care about the meaning. My brother always said that my name means "Sea witch."
