Kristy Hoover's Blog

I recently asked some friends how they came up with their children’s names.  That conversation led to some funny stories of who my friends were named after or how their names were chosen. This got me thinking about the name Kristy.  I was named after the character Christy in the book by the same name.  To this day, I’ve still not read the book although I probably should.  

So I got to thinking about other famous Kristys!  Here is a list of all I could think of:

• Christie Brinkley – Model
• Agatha Christie – Author
• Kristi Yamaguchi – Figure skater
• Christie Hefner – Daughter of Hugh Hefner
• Christie’s – Auction House
• Corpus Christi – Coastal City in Texas
• Kristy, Are You Doing Okay? – Song by The Offspring
• Christy Turlington – Model
• Kristy Swanson – Actress
• Steve Christie – NFL Player, retired
• Christy – Book by Catherine Marshall

Ok, now famous Hoovers! (My last name can be considered a person, a place, and a thing!)

• President Herbert Hoover – 31^st President of the United States
• J. Edgar Hoover – First Director of the FBI
• Hoover Dam – Dam located in on the border of Arizona and Nevada
• Hoover’s Online
• Hoover Vacuum

According to HowManyOfMe.com, there are 15 Kristy Hoovers in the U.S.

So, who were you named after?  How did you choose your children’s names?
