When I saw the title, I already knew which dickhole had made this thread, lol.
Also, my parents were always commended for naming me “such a nice Biblical name as Matthew”, when in truth they named me after Marshall Matt Dillon, from Gunsmoke.
I do not know which would be the worse origin.
But Matthew is a pretty rad name.
It could have been much worse… Festus and Abijah come to mind, respectively.
My father had just finished reading “The Outsiders” at the time of my birth.
So, they named me Dallas, after one of the main characters.
They named my younger brother Dillon (after Matt Dillon who played Dallas in The Outsiders movie) and his middle name is Gator (after another character that Matt Dillon plays, in the movie “Gator”). Very few people know his first name, we all know him as Gator.
My mother finally gave a first name to one of us in my baby brother (now 14), Dalton. However, his middle name, Gambit (after the Marvel comics character), was my father’s doing.
Kind of disappointing that I was the only one with a completely sensible name Dallas Gerald (after my grandmother, Geraldine)… Oh well.
My 1st name, is the 2nd name of my father which is the one he use to introduce himself since he doesn’t like his 1st name, my 2nd name is after a good friend of my family who i never met
