A recent article on Big League Stew asked the question how many readers are "1) named after famous ballplayers or 2) have kids who are named — or will be named — after them"
I thought it would be cool to hear from everyone here on the same subject. How many folks here are either named after a Yankee, or have named one of their children after a Yankee?
In my case, my daughter Marianna is named in honor of Mariano Rivera.

I am named after a movie actor,a ccording to my father, and one of my children is named after the author of "Dracula."
There are no “Jobas”, “Yunieskys,” or “CCs” in my family.

Okay, the fact that you named your daughter Marianna is so epic.
I mean, that is just awesome. My username is after Melky Cabrera (whom i miss so very much) and I want to name my great dane Mariano. :D
They didn't let me out, they just gave me a day pass.
Totally naming my first kid ARDO

I think..
It was in reference to Kerry Wood? Then it’s still not funny but at least has some credence.
Let's cut through the crap, Vaughn. I only got one thing to say to you: "Strike this mother f*cker out."
Oh, I know...
read some of the game threads where Wood was brought into the game. I admit some guilt in killing the jokes, but they are over the top
One day you will find him striking out the Sox side in a Champagne IvanNova in the sky
I am Curtis Granderson, and so should you

Thank God you weren't named after an ex-Halo

I know...
my mom wanted to name me Nathanial. Now that i think about it, that would have been an awesome name.
They didn't let me out, they just gave me a day pass.
I bet it doesn't get to the tennis balls as much as it used too

My dog is named Yogi.
My girlfriend likes Jeter as a first name for a kid, but even I don’t know about that one.

if your girlfriend is giving you the opportunity to name your child Jeter, take it.
They didn't let me out, they just gave me a day pass.
I’m pretty sure I’m named for Johnny Blanchard. Just a hunch.

Oh funny story I forgot to mention
My parents had the name Matt picked out for me, if I was going to be a boy, for a while. But 2 days before my birth Matt Nokes hit a 2-run go ahead HR, as the Yankees beat Boston. Ever since then its been a family joke that I was named after him.

actually that book was written about me
That’s how good Agatha Christie is…she wrote a book about a person who wouldn’t be born for another 60 years.
