Drive Moment - The Story Behind Your First Name - Who Gave It To You? And Why?

--:--

Our names are a big part of our personal identity. It's the sound that people associate you with, and the marker that you'll carry with you for a lifetime. While in your adult life you may lean towards a different name, or amend certain aspect of your first name, we really don't get to choose our birth names, as these ate given to us by our biological parents or guardians. Do you know the story behind your first name?

Was it a common name, or a new name created from scratch? Was it an Inherited or circumstantial? Did you always love your name, or did you struggle with your name sometimes? Check out some of the names of the Drive 959 team, and the interesting stories our listeners shared about their names!
