I was named after a woman whose name my mum & dad saw on the end credits of Tomorrow's World. They couldn't decide on my name so they put our surname after every name they saw & liked the sound of that one.
I found my daughters name in a football match day programme. There was an article about my favourite footballer and it named his daughter! Both me and hubby loved the name and I still love it 12 years later xxx
I don't think I'm named after anyone, I think my parents just liked my name. I'm the middle child and my brother, sister and I all have names that begin with the same letter. Not sure if that was done deliberately though! My Dad apparently wanted to call me Kevin if I was a boy. :eek:
I got my eldest son's name from the surname of someone who was in a famous band.
As my Mother, RIP, would love telling me, i was a complete mistake and they didnt want to name me but had to so they named me after a woman on Radio Two having a rant on a phone in apparently, that story always warms my heart .
