My name is Indiana Elizabeth Jones, yes....Indiana Jones, my parents named me after my dad's family history...however there is a new Indiana Jones movie out this year, so all my other 12 year old friends think it's pretty cool. My mom only agreed to name me Indiana if I were a girl....there was no way she was having a son named that...little did she know what would happen 5 years later....When my mom was pregnant with my little brother, everyone told her she had to come up with a cool name for him because of my name. She decided on Jack (of course she later found out that Jack Jones was a singer during her parents time) after my grandma Jackie and thought with the name Ryan as a middle name, she would just tell everyone she was a big Harrison Ford fan as a joke! Except..... when my mom fell asleep after my brother was born, my dad named him on a dare from a cousin of his and now I have a 7 year old brother named Dow Joseph Jones.....yep Dow Jones is his name, so we get lots of laughs. We are into every sport under the sun.....we both ski competitevly, play soccer, golf and I play softball while he plays baseball and football. Announcers love to say our names during sporting events....and my parents and good friends love to watch people's reactions when they hear our names being called. Just remember...................... I LOVE MY NAME! ~ Indiana Jones

I had to add this after today.....I LOVE my name and I for one am glad my dad talked my mom into naming me Indiana. I have never in my life thought I was named after a movie, nor have I been teased by other children or in a "school yard fight". I am proud of my name and love it, that is why I sent my story into this site. I now know after what some of the things my parents have said from the Blogs & comments (I can't read them) that it isn't kids that can be cruel; but adults actually are, especially the ones that can't accept the fact that some unique names given to a child are ones they love and cherish! In case you are all wondering....my brother loves his name too. Oh yea, someone owes me $10.00, my dad doesn't have a mullet! ;) ....I thought that was pretty funny!
