What's your middle name?

[_testify_]

Mine is Michael.

[NewWaveChick1981]

1. Puddintane. Ask me again and I 'll tell you the same...

:rofl: :hi:

Mine are too weird. One maiden, one married. I'd have to explain both of them. :P

[_testify_]

3. Well now I'm curious.

And you took a second middle name when you married?

[NewWaveChick1981]

7. No, I replaced my maiden middle name with my maiden

last name and took my husband's last name. I shoulda just left well enough alone. Too damn much trouble. :rofl:

Edited to say: my maiden middle name was my mother's maiden last name. :P

[_testify_]

15. It would be cool for guys to do that.

Change is good every now and again.

[NewWaveChick1981]

17. This particular kind of change is annoying and confusing, though..

:eyes: If I had that to do over again, I wouldn't. I don't mind most other kinds of change, but this one still has me peeved 14 years after the fact. :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

69. I did that, too.

My ex-middle name was Joyce ... didn't like that at all. And my maiden middle name flows more smoothly with my first and last name. :P

[GardeningGal]

55. OMG you just gave me a major flashback

I remember my Dad saying that when I was a kid. Wow, funny how a simple sentence can throw you back!

[NewWaveChick1981]

73. That's too funny!

My dad used to say that too....which is where I got it! :) :hi:

Your dad must be a great guy too!

[Karenca]

2. Hope .. nt

[_testify_]

6. Pretty !

[Karenca]

13. Thank you! I like it too ; )) . eom

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

4. Arlene. I hate it.

[_testify_]

5. I have an aunt by that name.

Not fond of her. LOL sorry.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

22. Yeah, it's my mom's name and she's not the greatest.

My first name is after my dad and he was really cool, so I'm fine with that.

[unpossibles]

8. Paris

it's an old family name, and it's Scottish, not French.

[_testify_]

11. Paris is a great name ruined by you know who.

For either sex, as well.

[unpossibles]

33. I know! I hate her for it too

and to top it off, rumor has it she's playing Jeanie in I Dream of Jeanie, which was one of my favorite (rerun) TV shows. damn her oily hide!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

64. I know someone from France named France.

I just think it's weird, like living in America and naming your daughter America.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. OK.......don't say I didn't warn you.........

My current middle name is Love.

It was my maiden name........:puke:

And boy, was I ready to shed that!

:crazy:

[NewWaveChick1981]

19. I think it's a cool name, Peggy!

But I bet you got all kinds of jokes in school. :) Sorry about that!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Oh, you got that right!

I was teased mercilessly until I got to college.....:cry:

Then it did go away......

I appreciate your kind comments, very much! :loveya:

[NewWaveChick1981]

52. I went to school with a girl whose last name was Tiddy...

and I'm sure she feels your pain. She had hers legally changed to Teddy when she turned 18. The kids tortured that poor girl, and it was awful for her. :( She was really sweet, too.

[_testify_]

28. I have a friend whose mom's maiden name is...

Macucchi....pronounced mah-coochie!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. Now see, I wouldn't get that........

But I know I'm in a minority here!

In spite of my age, there are lots of things that I don't know, or wasn't exposed to!

I do get this one, though, from your context...

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

38. How perfect!!

The only thing better would have been "Dear." :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. My dear Rev!

Oh my holy God! Have mercy! It didn't feel perfect at the time, believe me.........

I was sooo happy to marry and lose it.....

Mostly I use the initial these days, though.....

Love your closing remark! Dear! Too funny, and appropriate as well.....

:rofl:

[deadparrot]

10. Elizabeth.

Typical, as far as middle names go. :hi:

[_testify_]

12. The first girl I crushed on was named Elizabeth.

*sigh*

:)

[RevCheesehead]

40. me, too!

[New Earth]

14. i don't have one

i'm so deprived :cry:

[_testify_]

16. Ask NewWaveChick if you can have her old one!

[NewWaveChick1981]

18. ROFL!

:rofl: Who wants "Land" as a middle name anyway? :rofl: You can have it if you want it...

[Ariana Celeste]

20. Marie

I swear it is the most common female middle name ever.

[_testify_]

23. It was my mother's middle name as well.

And therefore beautiful :)

[billyskank]

21. James

A very common middle name.

[_testify_]

24. My father and oldest brother's name!

[arwalden]

25. Loretta.

[_testify_]

26. I don't think I've ever met a Loretta actually.

[OhioBlue]

29. Lee

it's pretty common, but I like it - it was actually after my paternal grandmother that I never got the chance to meet and she was named Leona.

My parents were both VERY young when I was born, and it impresses me that they were able to fashion my first and middle names after grandparents without being the exact name of the grandparent.

[seemunkee]

45. Mine too

I was named after a pianist who had several hits the year I was born

[sooner]

72. Lee, here

Gr-grandmother's middle name was Lee.
Mother's middle name is Lee.
My middle name is Lee.
Granddaughter's middle name is Lee-Parrish. I had to promise the kid a pony to get them to add Lee, but it was worth it! :*

[reyd reid reed]

30. Marie...

What else?

:shrug:

[_testify_]

31. As I said upthread

My late mother's middle name is Marie and I think its just beautiful!

BTW, I am so happy that your daughter is back home with you. I didn't post in any of the threads but my thoughts were with you.

[Skittles]

34. Arlene

yes INDEED

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

68. Hey we have the same middle name!

[Skittles]

70. pretty cool!

here's a bit of trivia: another gal whose middle name was Arlene: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Resnik

[scarlet_owl]

35. Ann.

[AtomicKitten]

50. mine too

nothing spectacular but it will do - made up for it with my kids' middle names

[LaraMN]

36. Noelle.

Take a wild guess which month I was born.:P

[Kire]

37. Blaine

It was my father's first name, though we called him by his middle name.

My grandfather's name was Blaine too. Middle name Ellsworth.

[querelle]

39. My Middle Name Is.......

Emilio. First name is Egon. What were my parents thinking? But, I have a friend whose first and second names are Pantelis Grillas. Perhaps I should consider myself lucky.

Q

[_testify_]

42. My mom had cousins named Primo and Segundo

How's that for imagination?

[graywarrior]

41. I use my middle name as my first name, and my first name as

an initial.

[rug]

44. Walker

[Bill McBlueState]

46. Jack

A girl I work with says, "That's a hillbilly name, because it's not a real name; it's a nickname."

sigh.

I was actually named for my grandfather, whose first and middle names were Jack Pershing. Named for the WWI general.

[KamaAina]

47. Francis.

It's for St. Francis Xavier, not Assisi. In fact it might have been "Francis Xavier (KamaAina)", but that was vetoed by Mom's decidedly non-Catholic parents. Pity. The "X-Man" would definitely have fit.

[txwhitedove]

48. Zip, zilch, nada, -0-. No middle name. A Southern woman without

a middle name, and my first name is only 3 letters.
:shrug:

[Floogeldy]

49. None of your damn business.

:smoke:

[Godhumor]

51. Skiles

Pronounced sky-els

My mother was the only child, and she ended up taking my father's name. She didn't want everything about her family's name to die out with her--as a result, she gave me a name from her family's past.

[Blue_In_AK]

53. Elaine

[Redstone]

54. I have several. Was born with none, but acquired them as I grew.

Redstone (Yes, that's one of them.)

[njdemocrat106]

56. John

But I prefer not to go by my first or middle names (though my immediate family absolutely insists on calling me by my first name, which really gets me PO'd.)

[sakabatou]

57. Jesse

[u4ic]

58. Maria n/t

[suzbaby]

59. Kaye

nothing fancy :)

[auntAgonist]

60. Bailey

It was my Grandmother's maiden name.

[DemsRBetterLovers]

61. Tyler

but everyone calls me Tyler anyways, no one knows my first name.

[wildhorses]

62. Elizabeth

[ghostsofgiants]

63. Mikael

[SeattleGirl]

65. Lee, same as my mom's.

:hi:

[Hissyspit]

66. Allen

[Guava Jelly]

67. Charles after my other grandpa

late grandpa as a young boy

[ashling]

71. Democrat

actually, it's Miller, my mother's maiden name. I was named after my grandfather: John Henry Miller

[Zhade]

74. Thomas, but almost Eisenhower for some reason.

NT!

[Bucky]

83. Eisenhower would be an awesome name. Ask for your money back

Great American name. You were totally robbed. I would kill several nuns, orphans, and gifted artists to have a cool middle name like Eisenhower. I would literally drink a bucket of bleach--literally; not just the bleach, but the bucket, too--if that would assure me of a kick ass name like Eisenhower. I would find somebody actually named Eisenhower, kill them, carve their face off, staple their face to my face, and assume their identity just to have that name. Literally.

[Zhade]

86. LOL!

:rofl:

Wow, remind me never to piss you off!

[Wetzelbill]

75. mine is: Dickcheney

for some reason I have an odd birthmark on my head.......



Actually, it is Stewart. The last name of some of my relatives. I'm also a Junior, so it is my dad's middle name too.

[Rising Phoenix]

76. Beth

which makes my initials ABC....my parents thought it was soooo cute

[MrScorpio]

77. Minklyfloppityflipsodoodle

[blockhead]

78. I don't have a middle name.

Just the letter T.

[Critters2]

79. Anne

Me and half the women in the English-speaking world.

[tibbir]

80. Nell

[LadyAziz]

81. Kiden

[RetroLounge]

82. Scot, with one 'T'

because one 'T' is all my momma could afford...

:D

RL

[Hand]

84. Elhanan

After my great-grandfather. I have an older cousin named Elkan also named after him--apparently one of the elderly relatives couldn't recall for sure whether GGF's name was Elkanan or Elchanan, so our parents had to double up on it to make sure he was covered.

[bridgit]

85. star...

[Rowdyboy]

87. Steven

Its what I go by

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

88. Michael too
