Mum said she took beginning of ROSAMUND and end of JOCELYN and made ROSALYN ,!!!! Ros

I think my parents were having a SERIOUS senior moment when they named me....I had a double barrelled surname too....Thank you Mum and Dad! Bane of my life! LOL Tina x

My eldest sister and Dad named me, sis wanted Donna,Dad wanted Heather.There you go :))

when my daughter was having her 2nd baby she kept telling her 2 1/2 year old Jemima that she will be the big sister and somehow the sister bit is a big part of Jemimas vocabulary. She quite often introduces the baby as SISTER MADELINE. Sounds so comical as it sounds just like a nuns name. Dont know where my daughter got either of those names from but she is quite biblical herself.

When my Mum was a little girl she always said she would have a daughter called Susan - and here I am! LOL My second name is Ann after my paternal grandmother. Good job it wasn't after my maternal grandmother - her name was Flo!!! I wanted my elder daughter to be named Daisy, but I was overruled by OH. Got my way with younger daughter though, he wanted Amy, but she's Gemma (cos she's my little gem - well she was once) :o))) Sue xx

Mum named me cause she liked the name good thing cause dad wanted to name me after my mum. Not really fond of Dorothy (sorry to any Dorothys out there). Deborah sounds so much more royal lolol

Hello, I was going to be called Nicola until mum saw Dr Zhivago at the cinema when she was expecting me. Tonya was the name of Uri's sister. Wished she had called me Lara or Katya both names were in the film and much prettier. Tonya x

I was going to be Trevor if I was a boy after Mum's little brother! Not sure who won the battle for my name but I know the spelling is Dad's fault - he said when he went to register my birth they asked him how to spell it, he had no idea so made it up! It's not a common spelling but I've 'met' another Johane through Genes.

My mum had called me Kali from the day I was born, just because she thought it was a beautiful name, but when it came to having me baptised the priest refused to give me that name because it was Hindu rather than Christian. She chose Sarah because in the bIble she didn't conceive until she was 90! lol

I was born 1950 and David was most popular name then think David Niven was heartthrob, always been one of the most popular boys names and my son and grandson both have the name. Davex

My Mum said that Father Doyle WOULD NOT baptise me Deborah as he thought I was being named after Debroah Kerr! They made a compromise - I was baptised Joan Deborah. Deb

Johanne is my daughters name not many spelt like it. David is my Hubbys name and my son is Gavin David very popular name. Kali is beautiful nowdays anything goes. June..
