For Whom Were You Named?

I'm interested in knowing why each of us was given the names we have. Please enlighten me if you can.

My full name is Kenneth William Rees. I was told that my first name (Kenneth) was the name of one of Dad's best buddies in the Army. I believe that my middle name (William) is after Grandpa Rees, who was William Heber Rees. So I was named after Grandpa Rees and an unknown Army buddy.

Ken... I have also heard the story that you were named after the army buddy. But, I think the story behind why... would be very interesting. Does anyone really know the entire story?... I have my version but am hesitant to share...

My dad has shared his side of this story also, which might be simular to both of yours.
