How did you get your ( Alright please don,t say Mum and Dad Did!) I suspect not sure think mine was after a perfume in the 1940,s.. June.

Think it must have been one of the favoured names around the time - have come across quite a few others of a similar age! Meant my name, Jeanie, not yours!!! Jay

I was named after my Dad (John- Jacques being the French version) when he realised that there would be no boy to carry on the name

Don,t you find you can roughly tell the era you were born by your name exceptions of course. June.

i asked my mum this the other day , she said it was a popular name in the 60s but our middle names have meanings like the time we were born ie; dawn and eve .

I was named after my Dad's mate.... not that exciting. lol My mum, (Zena) was named after a princess warrior, or vice versa according to her. (She was named after someone in a magazine really, lol)

My Grandfather choose my name,He died before I was born. the story goes that he was In the Middle east he heard the name and liked it,so here I amlol:-))

Roxanne is a lovely name .. June.

Ok this is not my name I was just called after my aunt. Thought i would let you know where I got my childrens names from. 1. Jacqueline from Jacqueline Kennedy American presidents wife. 2. Michelle from Beatles song. 3. Sean from Sean Connery. Betty p.s. they all have middle names too.

Betty Sean i a lovely name Irish form of John my dau is named Johanne. June.

My mam liked the names Rachel and Rebecca, dad didn't like rebecca Dad wanted Elizabeth Ann but mum put her food down and said no daughter of her would have the first name Elizabeth because 2 of her cousins were elizabeth and neither has her own identity they comprimised with Rachel Elizabeth! unbeknown to them at the time dad's grandmothers were Rachel and Elizabeth. My brother got himself named after a orcestral conducter and my Dad

I was called after the hazel nuts , but this is what my family say ! nuts whole hazel nuts cadburys make em and they cover them in chocolate.

Haven't a clue!!! Could have been after the film star Sylvia Sidney....? When I was little always wanted to be called Laura..... lol

I May have a rellie with the name Kenna i like that June.

Hi June, My son's name is even more Irish it's in full Sean Patrick Collins. No 1 daughter is Jacqueline Maria No 2 daughter is Michelle Ann Betty

I have no idea why I was called what I was. In fact with the excpetion of my brother, who has Dad's name as his middle name, none of us are named after anyone

Betty My Granson is Sean Vincent Shanahan.. June.

My Sunday and being told off name(!) Jennifer was picked for me by my eldest brother when they had a radio programme where this man asked 'whats your name little girl' and she said in a silly voice 'my names Jennifer'. My youngest brother wouldn't volunteer a name because he was sulking, he hadn't wanted a sister, he'd wanted a piano!! That remark certainly brought tears to my mums eyes (in pain at the thought of it, I think)

Jenny and are you small and brown and sweet ? June.

Ah June thats even more Irish. The Collins family all came from ireland but I have changed the christian names. I have however used the middle name of an uncle killed in WW1 Patrick. Wish I could find my Irish rellies from Monaghan. Betty
