Oh, this is really cool. As a "Daniel" myself, I really appreciate the background story of my name.
Sometimes, it's also interesting to get to know the story of how someone got their name.
When my mum was younger, there was a really cute little boy my mum really liked when she was on vacation with my grandparents. Not in a romantic way, as he was, like, still a small kid.
And she then decided that, when I was born in '86, I should receive his name. I found this super cute, and It's one of those stories that will always remind me of my mum.
- dkh 3y agoMy wife's grandparents on her father's side were Swedish immigrants to the USA, but her father has never known much at all about the Swedish background. A few years ago my wife got really into the ancestry.com thing, and after doing some digging, discovered that her father's first name is what his family's last name was in Sweden, up until migrating to America. While they took on a different, common last name as many did back then, they passed the old name on in their son. I thought this was fascinating, and so did he, as he never knew any of this, either! Just another Daniel born in '86 sharing an interesting name origin story. (My own isn't as wild -- my mother loved the Elton John song.)
