I'm the weird "other" vote. LOL
My middle name, Ann, is the same as my grandmother's, without the final "e" and everything (her name is Mary Ann). I always thought that was "for her," but it turns out my mom just liked it with Kelli. That shouldn't have surprised me, really, because my parents are pretty big on filler mns ... Kelli ANN, Dara JOY and Stephen JAMES (to be fair, James is also my father's mn, but I have to wonder if they "just liked it" as well LOL ... my mother's mn is Lee!). So there you have it, an entire family of filler mns. ;)
We don't have many family names as fns, even in my extended family, although I do have an Uncle George and grandfather named George (but they purposefully gave him a different mn because they didn't want a Junior ... they just happened to like the name George! LOL).

When I voted, I assumed that she was asking whether you are named after anyone in your family, and if so, is that name your first name, your middle name, or are both names in honor of family members? Both my first name and my middle name are family names, so I voted "first and middle."
I may be wrong, though...

If you were named after anyone in your family. Vista was my great-grandmother's first name and it's my middle name so I voted for middle name. One of my friend's middle name
Neither. My parents picked our names just because they liked them. :-) So, we're Stephanie Renee and Jeffrey Michael -- nice common 70s names for you. ;-)
DH's parents gave him a family first name, but picked a mn that they just liked, and he's always gone by his mn. His sister got probably the most common full name of our generation just b/c they liked it -- Jennifer Lynn.
