Speaking of names,...what is your middle one?

[ohiosmith]

Thomas after my maternal grandfather.

[Silver Swan]

1. Mine is Jayne

I have a "Y" in the middle because my mother didn't want me to be a plain Jane.

(And no, Jayne Mansfield had nothing to do with it. I was born long before she came on the scene.)

[Redlo Nosrep]

11. My Parents Were Too Poor to Afford One

So I have no middle name. Neither do either of my brothers.

We've spent our whole lives explaining why we left the "Middle Name" part of the form blank, lol.

[ohiosmith]

23. We should take up a collection to get you one!

[Redlo Nosrep]

32. Thanks For the Nice Thought, Ohio

But I'm so used to explaining the lack that I wouldn't know what to do with it.

Dad was just weird that way, thinking all a kid needed was ONE name. Sure, Dad, even though YOU got a middle name...

[Saphire]

56. my sister and I don't have one either. I use my maiden name

[HopeHoops]

12. If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

[nolabear]

29. ROTFL!! Nice.

[Wounded Bear]

15. Gregory.....

from all I can discern, it was randomly selected. No known relatives with that tag. As the youngest of six, I guess they were running out of the obvious ones.

Irene was the Goddess of Peace!

[LiberalEsto]

That sounds Native American, doesn't it? And I'm a first-generation American; my parents were immigrants from Estonia.

[moobu2]

33. Already posted

it in another thread, but this is a new one, so...

My grandma's name was Evelyn Marion. One of of her daughters was Marion Evelyn.

And I, as the first grandchild, got to get Evelyn as my middle name.

That's my dad's side of the family.

The men have passed down either Robert or Joseph as first or middle names.

[reACTIONary]

34. Armand. It was my father's first name, his...

middle was his father's first, and my son has my first name as his middle. Family tradition.

66. Welcome to D.U.

Very good to have new folk around here.

[bluesbassman]

49. Leighton.

It was my father's also. Gave it to my daughter for her middle name. I think it works well for a female name.

[fizzgig]

i was named, first and middle, after my mom's mom. both, as well as the combo, are very popular and there are hundreds of other women with my name.

[ashling]

Mine is Julianna after my great. grandmother.

[vaberella]

53. ALIX---No middle name, only a second name after a romance novel character which also matched Alicia.

Which was supposed to be my second name and it was my Great grandma's name. But my mum thought it was too heavy.

[bodudedem2959_lib]

54. David

[AllenVanAllen]

55. Galo, and I think my father just picked it because he liked it.

It's pronounced gall-oh and it sounds great pronounced in Spanish but in English, not so much. When I changed my name I dropped it.

[Danmel]

57. Toby

Which in Hebrew is Tovah , meaning good. So I always say "good is my middle name"

But I also use my maiden name as a middle name.

It's a long-time last, first, and middle name in our family.
