What is your middle name? Do you know why your parents, or whoever, gave you your middle name?


According to holidayinsights.com, there are two big reasons to be proud of your middle name.

1.) Your middle name makes you unique and sets you apart from other people who may share your same first and last name.

2.) Your parents chose your middle name with great care, often to honor a friend or relative, or maybe to honor someone they hope you'll be like.

Mine was given to me because it was a name used in the family...which is fairly typical here in the past and now even...it has usually been around the block over a few generations...

I grew up believing my middle name was sod, until I looked at my birth certificate.

i have no idea why i have either names...laugh

i'm adopted, and i didn't get any of the 'family names'.


...dunno

i do know that both names are near to top of the list for most popular names in the 1950's....so as far as i can tell...it just shows a complete lack of imagination...

My middle name comes from my Tante (aunt) and god mother (one and the same person). It's also so I had a patron saint and a 'name's day'.

Apparently there isn't a Saint Jac379. giggle
