Here goes, my name is based on an old family name which is Muschamp, but the name has died out, there are few Muschamp's on the island for sure, and not many of them anywhere I don't think. Muschamp, is the Anglicization of the original French name of Moo-shaaamp (phonetic spelling). Which was originally de Muschamp I think. There still may be a Muschamp castle standing in England, and a few distant relatives over there. The French originally came to England when they conquered it in 1066.
Now that is where the name Muschamp comes from and this is how I got it. My dad wanted to give it to me as my first name, but my mother thought that was a little much. So they compromised and named me Andrew Muschamp Mckay (My dad's and his dad's middle name were Andrew. Andrew is also the Patron Saint of Scotland.). However after I was born, my dad being stubborn like me called me "Muskie" anyway, and the rest of the family fell in line, the last holdout being my aunty Barbara. I have gone by Muskie as far back as I can remember, and am only Andrew on official forms, like drivers license, school applications, resume and what not.
