So my given name when I was born is " Refugio-Gonzalez J Nunez Jr." a mouth full. I was Thurs. Oct. 24th 1991. with that name. When I was in foster care at Mrs. Connell's house (my last foster parent) I had three "best friends" One was Matthew Moore one was Ryan Korne and one was Jesse ..... ( I don't remember his last name :(.... ). Well on Dec. 20,2002 I got adopted and one of my bros. in the family I was getting adopted to already had the name Ryan.
Anyhow when my name was Refugio...... I got teased ALOT the name was funny and silly so I was the kid to get teased. So when I got adopted I had the oppurtunity to make my name WHATEVER I want mom and dad just wanted all of us (8 in total) kids to have one bible name in our name that is all they asked. So because I didn't like my name and Ryan was taken by my now bro. I chose Matthew Jesse in that order for two reasons. Reason one is it sounded way better than Jesse Matthew. Reason two Matthew was my greatest and closest friend at the time so of course I wanted to honor him by having his name first :).
So when I was officially Matthew Jesse Tyus I decided to use the name of Jesse for the two reasons as well. The first is that I liked the name better. The second reason being we had at least three other Matthews in the Church that I was attending at the time.... and the Church only had 50 members so I saw how it could've easily gotten confusing....
