Spike Lee unknowingly named a character after one of his ancestors!

[@exdus235]

Nothing like documentation.

[@ashtonupton413]

Wow, Spike Lee's family is from the same place as mine. Dublin, GA I just moved back 2 weeks ago.

[@nicolemiddleton4939]

Just found out my maternal great great grandmother was from there!

[@josephinemiller4780]

I want to hear more about his family

[@daddams100]

Very interesting…looking forward to more unveiling the past.

don't be absurd, little lady

[@debbiez3984]

I unknowingly named my son after his Finnish paternal great grandfather, using the American version of his name. I also named my dog (first and middle name) after a great, great aunt and didn’t know until I started my ancestry search. 😂

[@whoaskedforthisbs]

I did the same with my only daughter, whom I named after my deceased father never knowing him or his name.

[@aneblockgames]

So cool! It's the Sisu coming through the generations!

[@chrismazz75]

Your dog has a middle name?

[@Furienna]

​​@@chrismazz75 Most of the cats that belonged to our family have had middle names.

[@cameron_fairchild]

ikr? 😄He was talking to someone two generations back and she went another generation back and came up with the uncle's name after being told; Granny, I'm looking for a name for a crazy character I have in my script. I don't know what to call him.

[@thisisahardworldtofigureout]

How are you feeling?

[@eternalsunshine2485]

Pretty crappy man. Thanks for asking. 😉

[@elizabethlackey9563]

Dna can help do that, it'll tell you what part of Africa.

[@xxxxxx-tq4mw]

Spike Lee comes from a long line of jerks.

[@lilsuzq32]

Much like your family...because your mother's uncle's cousin's brother is your father's auntie's daughter's grandpa...
