Thought this would be fun...name survey.:)

metaphor • 18 October 2011 at 9:09 PM

So, we all know i'm a name fanatic and many feel the same way I do about names. But the question is, what exactly do our names come from? Are they made up? Are they named after characters from movies? Books? Celebrities? Here's a little survey to find out where most of your names originated. All you have to do is respond to each question with a name you own that corresponds to the theme. If you have none, just skip it.😊 So, without further ado...

1. The name of a person I know in real life?
2. The name of a pet?
3. The name of a movie, TV show, book, song, etc.?
4. The name of a character from a movie, TV show, book, etc.?
5. The name of a singer?
6. The name of an actor or actress?
7. The name of an artist or writer?
8. The name of a scientist?
9. The name of a misc. famous person?
10. The name of a deity? (ie, god or goddess. Can be from any religion, myth, etc., fictional or not.)
11. The name of a fruit?
12. The name of a vegetable?
13. The name of a literary term?
14. The name of a music term?
15. The name of a scientific term?
16. The name of anything relating to astronomy (ie, stars, planets, galaxies, constellations, etc.)?
17. The name of a specific animal? (ie, Horse, Cat, Bird, etc.)


ALSO, since I wasn't clear, make sure you answer with pet names you actually own! Sorry for the confusion.😊
