History of a name

There is somewhat of a funny interesting story I am named after my great grandfather on my mom’s side of the family. He was my mom’s only living grandparent and they called him grandpa Teddy shot for Thomas. My mom wanted to name me after him but also liked the name Sam so there was a compromise and I was named Samuel Thomas. When she told her mom, my grandma asked why she chose the first name Samuel because my mom was not a where that Grandpa Teddy's middle name was Thomas and his first name was in fact Samuel. So by complete coincidence I was named after my great grandpa with his first and middle name. That is the story behind my name and how it came to be.
