Namesakes of Days Characters |
Many Days characters have been named after someone special. Here is the information on those names. For people with unmarried parents, I have put their mother's last name first, then their father's last name (ex. Beauregard Aurelius Brady/Kiriakis). Some characters use their mother's as a last name, and some their father's, but this varies according to storyline.
