HelpRe: Which celebrity/historical figure would you name your child after?
in reply to a message by Samm101
Some of these are names I already like, but would seriously consider using because of the positive association-- mostly saints names! To me, having positive namesake or meaning is pretty important.
St. Francis Xavier --> Xavier (mn only)
Father Damien, missionary to leper colony --> Damien or Damian (possible FN)
St. Thérèse de Lisieux, & Bl. Teresa of Calcutta--> Therese (MN only)
St. Ignatius --> Ignatius (mn only)
St. Martin de Porres --> Martin
St. Gemma Gaglioni --> Gemma
When I was a teenager I read a biography of Susanna Wesley, mother of John and Charles (founders of the Wesleyan denomination), and really grew to love the name because of her.
I can't think of too many more contemporary or historical people that aren't personal friends or relatives that have struck me as someone to name my child after... Good food for thought!
