Namesake Day
There are many of us who bear names that come from another, a name that was selected, not by coincidence, but with intent to carry on the honor of that lineage into our own life. There are many a John in the world, but even if youre one of them you may stand apart from the thousands of others by who you were named after. Are you named after your father John? Or perhaps your parents were true patriots and named you after John Quincy Adams. Namesake Day beseeches you to find out, and celebrate the heritage you carry in your name. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/namesake-day/
