I always thought my name came from a certain captain of the enterprise
Does your name relate to someone or something else instead?
I was named after a certain maternal relative. I just thought it could have been from the captain
Parents can give the names to children however they want. Many people are named after relatives or other famous people that inspire others.
I think it is cool to be named after a relative.
It is nice that you like the name your parents gave you. It shows that your parents care about you and the relative a lot, since your names are similar.
