If you dont remember because it was sooo long ago, then you dont have to participate in this topic :)

Anyways, My parents named me Bryant because at the time, when they were dating they were walking through 'Bryant Park.'

My great grandfather thought it was clever to name me Edward... then 2 years later, named my brother Edmund. We both went by Ed in our HS years so needless to say it got quite confusing when someone would call. Sounding exactly alike doesn't help either.

aww yes, I remember the day they named me like it was yesterday. It was a nice sunny day in August....I had just been born several hours before and I was wondering what they would call me. I was originally going to be named Steven, but my dad's cousin named his 2nd son Steven, so they named me Kevin.

Mountain range where my brother and me were born. He got the first part of the name and I got the second part of the name.

Effectively translates to Long/tall/big mountain. I never figured out which one of us was mountain and which was long/tall/big.

If I have more than one son I might, but the first one will be named something different, Charles is damn boring anyways.
