As a child I had a friend named Bailey. I remember asking my Mom when I was about 5, why she hadn’t given me a pretty name like Bailey. Haha! What first name would you have given yourself? I would certainly have called me Burt,  after my favourite movie star, .but the traditional british way of choosing names for your kids was not to leave it to the fashion of the day, but to continue a tradition of naming........first son, was named after paternal grandfather, second son after maternal grandfather, first daughter after maternal grandmother, second daughter after paternal grandmother...after that it went to the parents, so , if you were the third son, you had same name as your father........

Burt Reynolds? Probably spelled wrong. My family also insists on first names being family names. I don’t know that they follow any order really. . My Father wanted my first name to be Miya, but he knew he would offend his Mother if I wasn’t named after her Mother Zhanet. Janet is the American equal. She didn’t care for the American version, but he stood his ground and she got over it. Haha! |

My parents couldnt agree on names they picked out for me: April Meredith Stephanie Blythe I never met anyone with my name until 7th grade.. Same initials as well.. As I grew up, I began to appreciate the uniqueness of my name. I love the rhythm of it. Very nice ring! Your parents had good taste. Out of those choices, I think Blythe would have been a good fit. Tho the name I do have fits me like a glove.

I’ve never heard of an Irish Burt. Is that common? |

I’ve never heard of an Irish Burt. Is that common? His name was Albert Reynolds.....guess the temptation to call him Burt was just too strong :) |
