"When I was 22, her dad and I were laying in bed right after we found out we were having a girl. We were trying to think of names. I looked over at a lamp and jokingly said, 'What about Shade?,' and for some reason, he loved it. It kinda stuck"
"Well, telling a kid they're named after something totally mundane does kinda remove the mystique from an unusual name," says one commenter.
"You might want to follow up with something like it's a beautiful sounding word with a lot of mystery and depth, it's just that the lamp brought that word to your mind."
"For what it's worth, my mom told me she saw my name on a toilet paper dispenser at work and thought it was pretty, sharing my equally mundane and funny name origin story."
