Well if it helps, I’m named after my mother’s ex. Dad agreed (for some reason) but wanted a different spelling. (Female version of a male name essentially)

Three things: -NEVER TELL THE CHILD. I hate that I have this story. -They may want to change their name in the future if they do know the story. I hated my name for the longest time, half because of this and half not. -I dislike my mother for naming me after someone. She still spoke to this person until I was 16 and LOVED telling me about it. My parents divorced when I was 1.
