Is there anything that is unusual/special about your name? I'll explain

[classical_hero]

By this I mean is there anything in your actual name that can show something out of the ordinary. If you know what your name means then that would be great too. You don't have to give out you name, but the special part
The special thing about my name is that my Surname is a Scottish town. I know My Granddad has been there and some people I know who share the same last name, but are not related in anyway, have been there also. The Scottish town is Nairn. My first name means Gift of God, and my middle name means Beloved.
This is meant to a fun thing.

[The Last Conformist]

My family name is Sweden's commonest, and everybody is so used to the slightly irregular spelling that no-one ever thinks about it. Outside Sweden, I get it misspelt and mispronounced more often than not.

"Justins" would be from Latin ius "right", and related to words like "juridical" and "justice".

My surname is the same as the great fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes

Curiously, one of my distant cousins has the surname Rathbone, which is the same surname as one of the most famous of the older actors to play Holmes.

my name means ''male'' or ''manly'', so I guess it's right for me

 

[Adso de Fimnu]

There's a mildly interesting story about my last name. According to my grandparents (who are a rather dubious source, I'll admit), my family's surname used to be Knutssen (we're of Norwegian descent, as I have mentioned before). They claim there was an excess of Knutssens on the ship coming over, so they changed it to [what it is now]. I've been unable to find any meaning for it, so I''m wondering if some imaginative ancestor just made it up. (Oh, if there are any Norwegians who'd like to try and etymologize it, they can PM me.)
