Beatles' namesakes

I like Lenyn and Eltyn....very creative! I know a John Paul but he was named after the pope....no Beatles connection. Very nice name just the same.
People used to ask me if my son was named after the pope. I'd explain no he was named for the two Beatles. They were always surprised, but totally understood. Sometimes they'd joke if my next was going to be GeorgeRingo.

My daughter's middle name is Michelle. But it was also because her dad is Michael. My daughter's twin brother is Kevin Michael. Surpisingly, I never named an animal after any Beatle or Beatles-related name! My 3 cats now are Buffy, Angel and Spike! (any Vampire Slayer fans out there?)
Well, well, Nance R, I didn't have you down as a Buffy fan!.... pre-Luke Perry I am presuming?... I thought Faith was tidy... not that I ever watched that show.... But, yeah, Faith.... she was pretty good.
What's Luke Perry got to do with any of this?

Cool-man Luke, trying to broaden his career by doing movies, was the big star in the Buffy movie that precipitated the TV series... Eh, the movie career didn't kinda work out so well.... that being said, my guilty pleasure in the day was.... sssh, don't tell anyone... but Beverly Hills 90210.

My guilty pleasure back in the day was also Beverly Hills 90210, Toris. I even wore my brightly-colored, short sleeved t-shirts with the arms folded up in a Brandon-fashion. One of my all-time favorite TV shows was coming to an end (Thirty Something) and something needed to fill that void so Beverly Hills 90210 was it. I have never named a pet after The Beatles...have not had many pets come to think about it. But I did have a dog named Boo after the Lobo song "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo".

I was wondering..do any of you loyal fans here have children, grandchildren, even pets named after anything to do with Paul or The Beatles? I'll bet there have been quite a few Michelles named after the song of course....but what about Prudences? Vera, Chuck and Dave? Eleanors or Judes? Just curious...
Some of my cats have had beatles names - we had John (black male) and Paul (black and white female - sister to john), George (ginger male), and Ringo (grey female) all at the same time Unfortunately only John is still alive We have Starkey (black and white female) and Harri (tabby female) as well, so the 3 babies I love them more than anything. (Starkey has a middle name, as she looks so much like our cat Paul who was only 3 when she died of leukaemia, it was awful.. - that i gave her the middle name in memory of little Paul. So she's called "Starkey McCartney"!! She is honestly the best cat you could ever imagine) (And ps - all my cats have been rescue cats from shelters, Paul for example was found as a 6 week old dumped on a rubbish tip covered in mud ) (And although huge beatles fans since being little kids, we actually started the cat beatle names off with Ringo in 91 mainly in honour of my grans cat who died in 80 when i was 5 who was called Ringo and who i remembered. In 1964 apparantly a family on their street had 4 kittens and calle dthem all after the beatles, and gran and grandad took ringo in

I picked up a dog from the shelter to foster. They told me was called "Harrison". My mother predicted I'd never let him get adopted and would keep him myself. Three years later, Harrison is my faithful companion.

Then you, as they say, failed at fostering! And good on you! Thank you for giving a homeless pup a forever home!

When I was pregnant with my oldest son, I wanted to name him Lennon. My husband wasn't thrilled. Plus I was not a fan of any possible nick names Len or Lenny. So we gave him the middle name of John. In regards to my name.........I've asked my Mom if I was named after the Beatles song and she said no. But then I asked her if i could just TELL people that I was and she said sure.
