Mine is Beth, no, not Elizabeth, just Beth, after a great aunt. I always thought it was pretty cool, it's original. I always felt lucky because my sisters got the middle names Agnes, after my grandmother, and Claudia, after my aunt. I think I got the best one.

Ellen. It's my mom's middle name. For some reason as a child I always hated it. now it's just *meh*

The boys are Asa, after my grandfather, and Archer becuse hubby and I wanted to stop the "name fight."

Mine is Joyce, named after my mom's stepmother's middle name,(but was like a real grandmother) She died in a car reck and was the sweetest, giving person I had ever known.My Aunt(her daughter)died a year after her death and her middle name was also Joyce.So after the two and as naming her from me I gave my daughter the middle name Joyce.It is a very important name for me.

This is cool. Mine is Gerald, a name suggested by my uncle and I like it so much that I can't write my name without it.

Should we call you ODD Screwbell? It does have a ring to it!

All I can do is be thankful I didn't get any of my aunt's names. They are so Texas back country-and from the 20's - 30's uck! Edith? One example. Whew.

My kids middles are Benjamin, Elizabeth, Faith. If the girls had been boys, I would have chosen Steele, my dad's middle and really cool! Although he hated it growing up. My husband had an uncle named Henry Henry _________. All 8 boys had the middle name-Henry.

So ODD, does this explain why you are a bit dingy? As VI clapper hands. I do hope your first name is not Liberty! :D I do love playing Quasi Modo and ringin' your Bell sugah! Tis mighty pleasin...... Bah now, ya'll

Well I dont have a middle name. YEP that is what I said, I dont have one. I was named after my Great Aunt Giustina who raised my Dad. He grew up with his cousins Geno and Rena ( really Catherin).

My said my name was too long to have a middle name. They named me Christine. I always wondered why? Why not Giustina? I love that name... I wonder if it has an italian reference... does it mean Chrisitne in Italian.... that would be cool.

Tyler. And that's the one I go by because the first name is a little common. I guess I like to be as different as possible, even if it's not all that different!:cool:

Great poem Bell!

That's the reasoning behind my kid's middle names. I wasnted them to have something kinda "normal" but not very common, and an odd middle name so they can go by either when they grow up depending on personality types.

Steven Asa
Brandon Archer

Course our poor youngest ended up with initals that spell BAR. :p We would have changed it but since we had some major fights over naming him in the first place (I really liked Dakota, and hubby hated it) we didn't want to start the fight again.

I'm sure he will forgive us one day. :rolleyes:

Jeez, that's rough. Bar as in a "wet bar" or bar as in British American Racing. Yeah go with #2, maybe he'll win a F1 race and be rich! ;)

Well he can always joke about it in bars later.

"Hey, want to step up to the bar?"
"I'm just trying to raise the bar."

Loads of built in pick up lines. :p

I don't have a middle name.

My mother's logic is when we got married we'd use our maiden name initial then our married name.

Funny thing is not one of us girls did that. We just use our first name and our married names.

2 of my boys have 2 middle names...blame the drugs and the father who snuck in and grabbed the lady doing the birth certificates.....

First middle son's middle name...Alante (variation of dad's middle name Alan) and his other..Cashmere...Cash for short...yeah okay I said I was loopy...we never call him Cash...never.....his full name...Darius Alante Cashmere...poor kid

Now my baby .....

I hated the first name David..(long story) but it's fathers family name.
So I said fine...but he goes by Devon...

name David Wesley Devon ...
We called him Devon for the first year of life...then papa came down..we called him David for a week to make papa happy...and we
STILL CALL HIM DAVID...7 years later....:faint: Oh well...

My oldest lucked out. His middle name, is his dads..

Hey Maxine, Maxie, Max!!! Never mind what? :p

If you're lookin' for trouble, you came to the right place.
If you're lookin' for trouble, just look right in my face.
I was born standing up, And talking back.
My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack
Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me

(heh,heh. Just a little insurance. I don't know how serious about not living to tell the tale you were!)

mjm, you can do a search.... it is fun look up your family tree.

As I said earlier, I dont have a middle name.

I am Christine (no middle name) last name is too long.

I was named after my Great Aunt Guistina .... There is no J in the Italian alphabet nor is there a K, Y, and there are a few more.

My middle name is "Clayton" named after a great town that was build on clay, sometime during the "no one cares" Era.

However, I personally like to tell people that my middle name is "Vhan"
(in fact, it IS my middle name...at least that is the name I put on the cover of my bible!)
