What’s in a name?

I created a short series that explores how people think about their surname, and it’s impact on their identity. I found that most names have a great story, but not all of them are necessarily true.

Van

When she tells people it’s short for Vanessa, she’s thinks people feel let down.

Pelle-Savage

Some people don’t know what a hyphen is.

Falkenmire

It’s possible the name was born on a boat.

Willard

It does feel a bit strange to identify with that name.

McCallum

My dad said it was his castle. But that’s what they all say.

Evers

Wild pig in old German. That’s my dad’s theory.

Ling

My ancestors caught white fish somewhere in Scandinavia.
