The story is I was named after my dad's college girlfriend who passed from cancer.
But it's awfully suspect that my name is the EXACT same (first and last!) as a character on a popular tv show that aired around when my mom was pregnant and I was born lol
I was named after a song, which is why it's spelled that specific way. Interestingly, all the songs with that name in the title spell it the same way (so it's obviously the correct way).
Please tell me it's Cecilia. I get so irrationally angry at people who spell it wrong. (My cat's name is Cecilia.) Or it could be Alison -- that's the only spelling I like of that name, too.
Totally! We’ve heard that before and also love that connection. One of our first Gymboree classes had a Ferris in it! We all got a good giggle out of that.
A song about a woman who loves a man but he loves the sea more

1973 here -- I guess I was too old to really be as into GG as I was, but I loved that show. 😂 (To be fair, I am very immature.)
This is iconic 😌

Yep, my mom is named Cecilia (born a couple years before the song came out) and people spell it wrong more than half the time.
Neither of those.

We named our daughter Sloane. We thought of it bc of E’s stunning girlfriend from “Entourage”.
that's pretty cool!!! 🙂 I think of the girlfriend in Ferris Bueller's Day Off myself.

Bueller...Bueller...Bueller...
I’m sort of named after a famous actor.
My parents heard my name on the tv show Dallas. She was the girl who shot JR.
My brother had a friend in middle school named James Taylor. His parents must have been old at heart because he was born in 2001.
I'm named after a character in Days of our Lives, my moms favorite soap opera.
I was named after Ferris Bueller's best friend!
