My Dad's Name

What is your full name? Why did your parents give you that name?

My full name is Donald Corey Rogers.  My parents gave me this name because I was their oldest son and they wanted me to be named after my father but they did not want me to be a Junior (exact name).   My Father’s name was Donald Claridge Rogers.  I'm not sure why they named him Donald, but his middle name is his mother’s maiden name (Claridge).  Since they did not want me to be a Junior, my middle name was Corey, which at the time was a unique name.   Since they did not want any confusion in our home, they had me go by my middle name (Corey).
