My mom wanted an unusual name and Lynn wasn't usual, especially spelled Lynn and not Lynne in those days. Middle name of Ellen just because she thought it sounded good with Lynn (but of course that gave me a middle initial that often gets stuck on the end of Lynn ..

They also wanted one syllable to go with last name of Blakemore.

Of course since she wanted unique, she was a little bit flummoxed when two pregant friends liked the name and one named her daughter Ellen and the other chose Lynelle.

My Dad said I was just lucky because had they named me for my grandmothers (Etta May and Fuchsia May I could have been Fuchsetta May)

The got clever and figured they could make my initials spell my name Pamela Ann M....PAM

'kylie' is actually how it's pronounced but I have been called kaylee more times than I can count. My high school gym teacher called me Kaylee for four years and after awhile I just didn't have the heart to correct him. it was too late. So we all giggled and I said "here" whan called.

My father named me and insisted that my name be spelled with one "n" rather than the usual two in my name. My mother never knew why. We always joked that it was an old girlfriend's name. Add that my last name is not spelled the usual way, I've had my name misspelled my whole life, lol.

no idea at all. I never asked, but there are deep traditions in Judaism about how to name a child that my parents followed (i.e., it is supposed to convey his or her essence, form a covenant with previous generations, etc.). Like yu're supposed to name a child fter a deceased relative, but most people only use the first letter as a guide. But it never mattered that much to me.

Michael was the most popular boys name at that time. (and here y'all probably thought I was a Nicholas..heheh)

My wife's family has a tradition where the first born gets as their middle name the Father's first name...My daughter Zoe got the feminine version of my name: Michelle.

If I were born a girl...I would have been Becky Jo...lucky me. :D

LOL Nick. My bils family names boys after their dads or in the case of second or third boys after a close male relative. It gets rather confusing sometimes. But, when Caleb was born we wanted him to have some part of Darren's name, so he got his middle name, Caleb Wayne. Bil's youngest brother followed us, his oldest got his middle name (different first name) though he did name his second after an uncle. Sis and bil also followed that with my neices. Oldest niece has sis' first name as her middle name and youngest has sis' middle name as her middle name. It's been so much less confusing, lol. There's six Michaels in the family so it's nice to have kids with their own names!

Good morning everyone!! Hope you're having a nice Thursday. :-)

It was fun to read how some of you were named. It's interesting the choices that our parent's make isn't it? :-) Here are the results of: Do you know how your parents chose your name?
Yes34
No3


Today's question is: Do you have a lucky number?

I was born at 555am, and 5 has always been a pretty lucky number for me.

Nope, no lucky number here, although I always liked 5 and 3 when I was a kid.

13 The only time I was ever hospitalized was at a young age for tonsil removal, and it was done on Friday the 13th on an "outpatient" basis; ie I didn't have to stay overnight. Because it was Friday the 13th I had the hospital to myself and it was a much easier experience because of that!

I also like the odd numbers 1, 3, 5, and 7. (Not nine and I have no idea why!)
Because of a special friend 77 is a particularly magic number for me.
