When someone asks me why my name is Sheldon, I tell them it's an after birth defect.

My first name was the name of my father's twin, who died in infancy. My middle name is my father's name. However, when I asked my parents if they named me after my father and his twin, they said they didn't.
I choose not to believe them.

Biblical Rebecca here.
For the longest time, I was one of less than a handful members of the family without a saint's name.
That changed in 2001.

My first name is the name of a little known (celestial) star. My middle name is Eve, meaning dawn of a new beginning, NOT from the Bible (she thought it sounded kinda spacey). My initials are J E T. My mom also picked my middle name so that it would spell jet... Yes, my mom was and IS a hippy :P"Hi, this is Silver.

My mom was going to name me Cassiopeia. Can you imagine learning to write that at 5? LOL Hippy moms ftw. Her second choice was Peace Hope. Yeah.
Nicest thing my dad ever did for me was put his foot down on that one. I am named for my paternal grandmother, a nice, normal name.

My legal name, the one I hate with a passion and have been known to tear throats out for using... was my Great^n grandfather's name.
n=I forget, somewhere between 1 and 5, most likely.
Later, I found out there's a space ship captain with the same name. However, I've seen absolutely nothing of that series.
And I still hate it.
However, the acceptable nick name my family uses is the last three letters of that legal name, which is always fun, because my legal name is on my DL, but my nickname is on my debit card.
"I can't take this card..."
*sigh, eyeroll, slip thumb over most of my name*
