4. I have no middle name
Only two names. Heck, I'm better off than all those Indonesians who only have one name or those Catholics with fifteen names.

24. Heh. Reminds of a problem we had on one of my projects.
We were trying to make a template for data transfers from one system to another, but the system we were transferring to only allowed fifty characters for the name field. Turns out fifty characters isn't nearly enough for many Spanish and Indian names, so they were getting truncated, sometimes only a fraction of the way through the name. When I said Catholics, I was actually thinking of Spain in particular.

23. That is an old school name. I have an uncle names Fred and he acts like he don't like it. He says
people call him "Freddy the free loader" or say to him "Fred is dead".

I kinda like the name though.

30. My baby brother got stuck with Billy....not William or even Bill but Billy....
Apparently my mom's childhood nickname was "Billie". He later named his own son William!

12. Mine is "DuBois"
It's French for "of the woods."

Since my first name is officially "John," the family joke is that my name means "outhouse."
