My own: I was supposed to be named after my paternal grandfather following the family formula but for whatever reason that default was rejected. Then my mom picked ‘Rahul’ which my grandmother vetoed on the grounds that it was a Buddhist name. Landed on family deity as compromise
Mine is boring (they liked the sound of it), but my younger brother was named by 3 year old me: there was an older boy in our neighborhood named "Ross" that I thought was Super Cool. I told my parents, "I don't care what you name him, in going to call him Ross." And I did!
Named for dad’s sister. My kids weren’t named for family but after historical figures/names we liked. For our last baby I had a vivid dream very early in pregnancy where a baby was telling me she was a girl, what her name was, and how to spell it. Went with it. 🤷🏻♀️
