Myriam was their age and one of their good friends. The spelling is apparently French, though, even though I'm named after a German. <BR/><BR/>My middle name, Elizabeth, is after another one of the women they knew in Germany, Elisabet, though she was a lot older than them. <BR/><BR/>Not much more to it than that.Myrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00546075302177978127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28066668.post-85291636701362228652008-06-11T16:34:00.000-06:002008-06-11T16:34:00.000-06:00As a little kid, my older brother loved to play wi...As a little kid, my older brother loved to play with a dog in the neighborhood named Casey.

Anyway, back to the name.<BR/><BR/>My three older sisters are Deborah Ann, Dana Marie, and Daryl Stella - I am Jennifer Frances. Apparently, they couldn't agree on another 'D' name, and Jennifer was NOT a popular name - then. However, my Dad's middle name is Frank, which is the masculine of Frances.<BR/><BR/>Too much information, huh?<BR/><BR/>Do you know who I am?

As they were watching The Streets of San Francisco, they found it. A Jamaican lady (of the evening) named Janea (spelled differently, of course) caught their attention. It was decided then and there. My great-aunt's name is Jane. They played with the spelling, added an accent over the "e" and created a name that no one can ever pronounce correctly the first time they try. My middle name is Dale after my cousin Cindy Dale. And that, my friends, is how Janea Dale came to be.<BR/>Janea DaleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28066668.post-47219610936819983512008-06-09T18:12:00.000-06:002008-06-09T18:12:00.000-06:00AFTER I was born, my mom and dad went through the ...AFTER I was born, my mom and dad went through the baby name book separately and wrote down all of the names they liked. They agreed that the first name (alphabetically) that they both had on their list would be my name. My middle name, Marie, is from my Dad's mom (Jessie Marie). Three of my cousins on my dad's side have Marie as a middle name also.....originality doesn't run in my family obviously.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404246151784913885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28066668.post-34198507895436440422008-06-09T17:02:00.000-06:002008-06-09T17:02:00.000-06:00I don't know where Lanny came from, as many of you...I don't know where Lanny came from, as many of you probably wonder!
