Nettie, your first name is French but people adopt other nation's names all the time. It's the last name that is important in determining where someone is from.

Diane

[john carpenter]

[KPM]

Only that both names are put together by some of the same letters:lol:

[Trev1]

No but change one letter of my wifes surname and it
turns into an anagram of Elvis :)

[Diane]

We both have an "e" in our names.:) Seriously, Elvis and my husband are both related to the King family in Texas but he doesn't know if there is any connection to Elvis or not.

O.K. Here's the link...my grandmother was Gladys' sister,Reatha Smith. Reatha had one

son,a man named,Harold Loyd. I am one of Harold's sons....Larry Loyd.

[littlesister3]

This isn't a great link with my name and Elvis because its only the first name but I was excited when I first found out about this story. I have the same first name(Colleen) as the flight attendant who was on a plane with Elvis once in '73. She was the one who said Elvis invited her to his concert that night and then Linda invited her to meet them in Tahoe the next week. She was able to stay in the suite next to Elvis and Linda while in Tahoe with them and sit front row at his concerts. I sure wish it was this Colleen who got to do that!

[LianaKaralivanou]

Of course my name is linked to Elvis. It contains an "L" and an "I".

[Diane]

Welcome Larry, glad to have you here.(y)

[Merry]

Some interesting things, lol.

My horse's name is "Rusty" (As we know Elvis played "Rusty" in a "Girls, Girls, Girls"). Rusty's pedigree name is "Southern Gentleman" (which Elvis is). Rusty is a palomino quarter horse/stock horse, I also have a black horse, so Elvis and I liked the same colours, lol. I would adore riding an American Walking Horse, wow, now that would be an experience. There are some over here, apparently. If I could, and I would like to later, have a lot more animals here, love them. We've both had peacocks, lol (and aren't they an "experience") hehe, want some chooks! :D a cat, lol, and some more dogs! :D One day, when I can afford them. :D

My mother's name is Glenys (Gladys).

As it is a public forum, can't say the name, but my family surname is the same as one of Elvis' girlfriends, lol.

I named my darling, now passed, Collie, "Jess", (we both like collies) that is why I named myself "Jess" as the name, "Jessica" is my favourite, plus other reasons.

Lots more coincidences, but that is another subject. :D

:hug:

(((((Elvis)))))

[elvisbootlegs]

i have E's middle name - spelled as it on the grave.

[shelley.m.]

I have 2 E's plus an L(actually 2 L's) and a S in my name.Does that count?

[Broussey]

I was named after Natalie Wood.. So in a way my name is linked because i guess they dated ?!?!......

If i ever have a little girl i want to name her Presley so that is defiantly a link

[elvislady]

I think we can all say we are linked in some way. lol
elvislady:D

[jon_burrows]

My daughter has the same initials as Elvis - EAP.

[Sheila]

How about this...My name is Sheila. Elvis dated Sheila Ryan in the 70's!:D

[renapap05]

I have an "e" in my name.:blush::D

[Merry]

I discovered last week, that my puppy's name of Storm, is the same as Benjamin Keough's middle name.

[Elvos77]

After all ,we're just one big family. So yes I am linked to Elvis.
He was human ( I am to ,well sort off) He was a man (me to , check check..yes indeed)
He had sideburns, (hey what's that on my face?...ahh me to)LOL..
And I love him like a member of my family...what more is needed?

[lindamemphis]

I have the same name as the beautiful Linda Thompson!!! :)

[Merry]

My first dog's name, (a Collie) was Beau Boots. Beaulieu (Priscilla). I didn't name any of our pets after anyone, all just "coincidence". :blush:

:)


:)

[Miss Clawdy]

One of my cats names was 'Priscilla Beaulieu', we used to call her either 'Priscilla' or 'The Beaulieu' :D. Strangely enough, I wasn't an Elvis fan back then, it must have happened during the 'Dallas' period ;).
Four years ago we got a Jack Russell baby girl, and she already had a name: 'Ella', needless to say I was very satisfied :D.
Not to forget I have a 'i' in my name ;)!

[Teddy]

Yes! My name is Theodore Bear but close acquaintances refer to me as Teddy, much like the title of Elvis's 1957 hit of the same name http://smiley.net.ru/misanm0571.gif

[Teddy]

...and while I've never really enjoyed sports, I do have a jockstrap which I call 'Priscilla' http://smiley.net.ru/misanm0157.gif

[vegas 74]

My name ends with the same letters..DennIS BerrY.

[Burning_Love]

My name is Danielle Marie.
Danielle after Danielle Riley (I was born around the same time, my parents had learnt her name was Danielle)
And Marie after Lisa of course !
My brother is Aaron, named after Elvis.

Elvis Aaron Presley

[Teddy]

:supriced::doh::hmm::goggles::wacko::whistling Is that what I think it is???

Like I said, it's not so much for 'sport' as 'support'.
It's kind of like a 'pubic bra'. http://smiley.net.ru/misanm0169.gif

[Teddy]

Who else can you entrust with The Crown Jewels? :angry:http://smiley.net.ru/misanm0892.gif:angry:

[brf1964]

My surname is Fisher.

Elvis played Danny Fisher in King Creole.

Elvis' accountants were Spain & Fisher.

I also think that one of the writers of That's When Your Heartaches Begin was Fisher.

[ani presley]

My real name is ANITA like Anita Wood:)) Im sooo proud...lol

[EnigmaticSun]

No not at all, but what a neat question to post up a topic with.. :lol:

Anyway, I'm using the artist's name Marcello Cacciapuotti in order to prevent the suspicion of a familiarity. Besides, those Italian girls tend to have a lust for blonde guys.

[LISY]

Same name as his daughter Lisa.....:D(not the middle name though) and my birthday is the day before Elvis so I love that too LOL

[Merry]

Another one!

Can't believe it, lol, just realised through joking around with a wonderful friend of mine (Nixon), lol :hug:

Elvis admired a President, Kennedy, and my new/old last name belongs to another of the Presidents, rofl! Am I stretching it? Nahhhhhhhh lol, it's a change of name and alignmentb, (y)

The coincidences just keep coming. :notworthy lol

[shelley.m.]

I have an A in my last name and an S as well in my last name too.Does that count?

[shelley.m.]

I forgot.My middle name starts with an A as well.

[molokai123]

[Merry]

[Pacerstar]

I have the e,l,v, & i In my name. I have a greatniece named Presley. I was named after
Elvis - about six months after him! LOL! Sorry for the joke.

[FB-JC-474]

My lastname (not my maidenname, my ex-husbands lastname) is the name of the car retailer, where Elvis bought his BMW in Frankfurt,Germany. And I live near Frankfurt. Does this count, too? ;)

@Pacerstar

Cool Joke!(y) So your parents were the first to know how big Elvis would become? :)

Actually, it was an older brother who gave me my name.(y)

[FB-JC-474]

That's cool. I 'm a firstborn and my parents "expected" a boy and so they had only boys name in "stock". I figured out to be a girl and my parents were "in trouble" about my firstname since their choices didn't fit at all :). So each of the came up with a quick choice of girls names. Luckily my father won "the fight". My mother's proposal was really inacceptable...

I hated my name most of my life. Then when it became so similar to Elvis'
I was happy that my brother had chosen it for me. He was about eight and
died when I was two weeks old. My mom said it took him several days to
remember the name he wanted for me and they wouldn't name me until he
remembered it.(y)

[FB-JC-474]

@Pacerstar

That's a nice but very sad story.:'(

[Genie]

I don't think it counts much, but I am a twin..who lost my baby sister moments following my own birth.
Looking at Elvis' family tree..........there are many Smiths and several full blood cheroke Indian's in my own.

[Pacerstar]

@Pacerstar

That's a nice but very sad story.:'(

Yes, it is sad. Thank you.

[rickb]

I was named after Ricky and David Nelson - is that close?

[FB-JC-474]

Yes, it is sad. Thank you.

At that time unfortunately quite a lot of children died.:'(
My father had one stillborn brother and another brother who died when he was almost 6 months old. One of my mother's brothers died when he was 2 weeks old.:'(

Since full blood cherokees are rather seldom in Germany, I didn't do any research in that.... Smiths or their German forms are not any of my realtives.

I guess at least as close as my lastname.....:lol:

Yes, children died more back then. The brother I mentioned and the one
who was the next child after me both died young. The brother after me
was only 13 months old. But, my mom had 12 children - 8 boys and 4 girls.
Now, there are only 3 boys and the 4 girls still living. I always felt like the
older brother was watching over me when I was a child and growing up; so,
I understand how Elvis could feel the presence of his twin brother, Jesse.

Thank you dear.;)
In the States I believe it is Morning star who married somone with the last name of white, related to the many Smiths. My anscestor was my Grandmoter, Anna Belle whiteCloud.
Smith is German isn't it? I mean in it's origonal form. Something like Smithe or smyth?
Geneology is very interesting isn't it.

:blush:

So true.......I know in my own case, I felt like two people, always...and Mother didn't help by feeling depressed and more or less mental regarding the loss.. she gave me both middle names...which would have been fine, but she went back and forth from Julia to Jeanne. She never got over it, and to this day, people know me by both names. I'm so sorry for Elvis and his parents, this happens a lot. You blame yourself for living.

[Wendy56]

Guess no... It only has the "e" in it. :D

[Genie]

OOps, I think that is wrong, it's more like Morning Dove on Elvis' family tree..?

[Genie]

Very good! Rick Nelson was an absolute living dream at his young age....those blue eyes and everything..not a worry for the King, but still a real cutie pie

The loss of brothers and sisters must have been very hard... That's really sad. :'(
I think, the love that our family members who passed away felt for us, stays here with us and so we still fell their "presence" sometimes.

In German there are several varations of the name.
It's Schmid, Schmidt, Schmit for example.

I don't know if the German Schmidt is the origin of the english Smith.

I think it might have occured in in Germany and in England at the same time that family names were "invented".
Before people were named Adam son of William e.g.
I guess to remember it was at the end of the middle ages that professions became family names.

If your family name is no so common like Smith or Miller it can be quite interesting, what it's original meaning is.
