    I think it's odd when someone is called by their first and middle name OR their first name is 2 names.

    Like bobbi rae, daisy mae, sally jo, betty anne, etc.

    My middle names are my great grand aunts. I don't like them, as they commemorate our British ancestors. I have seriously considered changing my names altogether. The problem which arises is what name should I change my first and last names to?

    But without a middle name, how can you ever be a famous assassin? And how will you know when your mom is mad at you? "Lee Harvey Oswald...you get your butt down here this minute!"

    My wife doesn't have a middle name. My middle name is my mothers maiden name.

    And if you think 3 names are a lot, you should see in Latin America. It is normal to have two last names and two middle names is not uncommon either. Many people have 5 or more names.

    A middle name exists solely to add weight to what your parents are yelling at you.

    And when you're Roman Catholic, you also get a confirmation name. When you hear all those names, you know you are in serious trouble!

    Always hated my middle name, I only use it (or the initial) when signing legal documents.

    Adding, my oldest daughter is called by her middle name, not her first.

    I'm also called by my middle name. Annoyingly, my first name is the same as my father's first name. The easiest way to differentiate on official documents (which insist on stating my first name), is to state our full names, or at least first name with middle initial before the last name.

    Some Said It’s Quite Sexy ,
    While Others Have Said It’s Funny.
    I Personally Disliked It As A Kid ,

    My middle name is a man's name

    My grandmother's second middle name was also a male name.

    Several of my friends' kids got the mom's maiden name for a middle name.

    Haha true. And the more trouble you are in the more of them your Mom yells at you. If she gets through all of them you’re really in *kitten*.

    Haha yes. If all of them come out, it's time to start preparing to dodge the chancletas.

    I named son Garrett after Garrett Breedlove. Astronaut character played by Jack Nicholson. Great actor, great character and great movie Terms of Endearment, DW rolled with it. :wink:
