What's your "Middle" name?
And do you hate it or love it?

My middle name is that of the slave-owning branch of the family
Which is one reason that I never use it.

14. How is Toronto in April? Looking for an April vacation kinda thing.
Haven't been to Toronto yet -- Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, yes, Toronto, alas, no. Would April be a good time to go there?

27. Too bad. I really, really don't want to go South. We are in Connecticut
so south is about the only option for nicer weather. But we will keep it in mind for the Summer. Would you think it is better to go to Toronto with or without children. Halifax would have been great, but kids put a bit of a crimp into it.

9. Leslie
I use to hate it throughout middle school.. was always teased "That's a girl's name.. your a girl.." you know stupid shit like that... I now like it though... it's the name of my father.... who also hated it as a kid because it was a "girl's name" so he went by Lester through most of his childhood.. until he realized he was named after his grandfather.. and realized it wasn't a name to be ashamed of.

11. Joyce
I really don't care for it.
But I don't like my first name, either.
I wish I were named something like Margot or Zoe, but then, if I had been named those kids would have called me Maggot or Zooey or something like that when I was a kid.

So I guess I'll stick with what i have, Brenda Joyce.

28. John, after my dad
my parents divorced when I was four, and I was raised by my mom. Conseqently, I didn't see my dad a whole lot growing up, and our relationship today is somewhat odd. However, I still love my dad, despite his faults, and I'm quite happy to have his first name as my middle name.

if not it's no big deal, it's still a nice middle name.

74. Joy....
"Joy" as a middle name for females is a tradition in my family spanning 6 generations now. Mom named me Gloria after Gloria Steinem, but the cool thing is that "Gloria" means "Joyful" and "Joy" means "Glorious" (according to the baby name books). Weird coincidence considering my Mom didn't know this when she named me. Cool, eh?

My daughter is Abigale Joy with Abigale meaning "a father's joy" which is a bit short sighted because she's my joy too, but somewhat redundant considering her middle name is Joy. :)
