names, very interesting ones

do you have friends, or just someone you know named after something, a place, or something along that line? it never fails to fascinates me how interesting some names are.

some people are name after certain months of the year. others are named after the place that they were born, or after the name of the place where their parents made them. of course nobody wants to be named after an 'uncool' city, everyone wants the perfect name for their child, something like paris, or milan. it spells your social status. some just adopt the name of a thing. like a cool name, for instance, batman, superman, tweety bird,  or even fedora.

isit it interesting to find out the stories behind how each one was named? be really surprised!
