Who were you named after?
If you were named after someone, spill and tell a story if there is one. I was actually named after Ronald Reagan. I had no part in that, but I'm proud of it nonetheless, since I've always admired the man.

Mom told me years ago how they came up with my name, but can't remember the story anymore. But I'm pretty sure it wasn't after anyone in the family.
We named our son after an uncle I had that died back in '62. We wanted something different from the usual Tom, Dick & Harry, and I always kind of liked that uncle's name, Vernon. It was kind of a 2-for-one way to go. My uncle's middle name was Charles, which also happened to be my maternal grandfathers first name, so we went with that and made both sides of the family feel important.

But it would be the Sesame Street character, not the prez. Oh, having read the posts above, I see I was wrong. He was named for a baseball player.

sorry for being way off topic... but what sorts of books has President Teddy Roosevelt written? I found a very old book written by him about farming, its however written in Polish. Are most of his books nature based?
