User Comments about the name Van


  • Comment left Aug 07, 2008: "My grandpa's and my uncle's name is Van. Their last name is Gibson so people most often think Van is a part of their last name (Van Gibson) and wonder what their first name is. I absolutely love the name and am thinking about naming one of my future sons Van!" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Mar 22, 2007: "My name is Van. I say "Von" and am frequently miscalled Evan, John, Don and Ron. I get teased sometimes for "Vons" supermarket, Vans shoes and of course the vehicle spelled the same, but I love my name." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Nov 25, 2005: "My name is Van, and I've had varying reactions when I tell people my name. Some think I'm saying Dan or Vance. I end up telling them, "Van! Y'know, like you drive?" and make a gesture like I'm turning a steering wheel. Others, once they get to know me, jokingly call me Truck or SUV. Van is a unique name, so when someone calls it out, I know they're talking about me." (Report as inappropriate)
