My g/f asked me that question and that got me thinking...i'm gonna have to call my mom up and ask...
My Name: Jonathan
it has nothing to do with a variation of my parents name...nor was it any ancestor's name...i guess they wanted something "American"  |

Family politics got in the way, so my mom decided to choose another name. This one, Kristen she found while reading a book with two sisters in it. That's it. Nothing special.

Lonnie....my dads first name, a "version" of his dad's name
Most likely though, its because "Boy!" was too vague....although that was my name quite often when I was a child. 1 Cross + 3 Nails = Forgiven Quote: |
