I was wondering how many have and use their middle names?
Actually I was named after my uncle, Donald Edward Ploss, who died at the age of 19 in WWII. My full name is Donna Ellen Ploss.
I have no middle name
Neither do I. And it drove me crazy when I was a kid. First to have a different first name - Gretchen - and then nothing in the middle. My mother, bless her heart, told me that when I got married I could use my maiden name in the middle. And that's exactly what I did. But what if I hadn't gotten married . . . . . . .http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...16th/bored.gif
Mine is Dawn. (My Dad's name was Don and he wanted a boy.) But, I don't use it.
Annette Marie - I use my middle initial on important papers. ;)
I have three middle names. Two from my christening, one from my confirmation. Frances Alberta Angela.
I always use an "F." when I sign ANYTHING.
Hey, my middle name is Ellen, too. I never liked it much, especially when the Waltons was popular. "G'night, Mary Ellen" got a little old. I felt Mary was more sophisticated. Now I like it, though. Only my family (what's left of it) calls me Mary Ellen. And when I was in theater, I went by Ellen.
I have a middle name. I don't use it on a day to day basis but I do use it on important documents that require it. heh. My middle name is Noel. What's funny about that is some people pronounce it "no-elle" but some (such as my husband) say it like "hole with an n". :p
At any rate, I am not fond of it. :p Too many xmas jokes. :D
Patricia Ann.
My middle name is Reed. I'm not too crazy about it and I usually use my middle initial "R". My full name is David Reed Pizzica (one point for pronouncing my last name right!)
Michelle.
Courtney Michelle. No special meaning behind it. If you ask my mum, she will just say that it flowed. Just like if I was born a male, I would have been Cory Michael. I don't mind my middle name, but the only time I really hear it is when my mum is wanting me to do something... or if she is upset with me.
I do, and I have always treasured it. It is pretty unusual, and I have never met anyone not related to me who had it as a middle or first name. It was my beloved Grandma's first name. I use my middle initial, A, whenever I sign my name, as my birth name and current last name are fairly common names, so I figure I'd better. Every one who sees my sign Karen A. Watts tends to assume my middle name is Ann or Anne, but nope.
My middle name is Aldea, pronounced AL-dee-uh. French Canadian in origin, probably a French-Canuck version of the English Althea.
My middle name is Nicole. Ashley Nicole. I really love my name and I know that Ashley is pretty common name but I have to admit that I simply love it!
Ashley
Candace Arlene
NO idea where it came from.
My mom and her family of origin had no middle names...apparently that is usual in some cultures - her parents came from central Ukraine in 1925.
My mom took her maiden name as middle - to the extent of paying for it to be her legal middle name. Helen Cherak (the latter is her middle name).
I do have a middle name.
Rachel Marie.
Marie is a family name.
My middle name is simply Anne, and i feel blessed, because the scottish tend to give their children a middle name which is actually a surname in the family, for instance my sister is margaret Ferris,which is my grandmother's maiden surname,:eek:i would hate that, so i am glad to have been given Anne.:)
Yes. My folks used their first names as my and my brother's middle names. My brother uses his all the time, it's Jack, great name. Sadly (hangs had in shame) I always thought mine was too old fashioned. I don't even use the initial unless I have to for legal purposes. It was always fun making people guess my middle name and nobody ever did. An ex coworker found out and to this day, he calls me by my first and middle name, on envelopes, when he calls, always, just to rattle me. I'll never tell. Sorry mom.
I was going to be named Caryn Leigh..never happened.
I am Cynthia Ann. I go by Cindy and hate it when people say Cindy Ann (sounds like Ragedy Ann to me). Well, that is what Bruce calls me. At first I got irritated, but now he is the only person I can tolerate it from. :)
My mom chose my middle name just because she liked it. It wasn't until later she discovered it was my dad's mom's name. Oh well, too late to change it. :rolleyes: I sign my name Cynthia A. (last name).
My Middle Name is Anne. No real special meaning, except it is my mothers middle name. My first name Margaret was my Grandmothers name, who passed before I was born at the age of 42 from Cancer.
My first and middle names are Shanna Rae.
My grandfather's middle name was Raymond, so a LOT of my boy cousins got the middle name Ray or Raymond. Guess my mom improvised with me.
I don't mind it, I don't know what else would go with my first name, and I think they sound pretty good together.
I don't use my middle name as an adult. But I clearly remember the first day of kindegarten, my teacher was calling roll and said, "Shanna?". I didn't answer at first ... I thought she must be talking to some other Shanna, because NEVER in my life had I been called anything but Shanna Rae. It's a southern thing, I guess.
My son's name is Dylan Ray, so I suppose I carried on the tradition.
My paternal grandmother's middle name was Cornelia. I always loved that name when I was kid. My mom's middle name is Irene. She hates it, but I love it. My dad's middle name was Carl, so they combined Irene + Carl, and my sister's middle name is Carlene. I was always so jealous that she got that middle name. LOL
My middle name is Lynn and as far as I know there's no special meaning behind it.
My middle name is Alison (my mums first name). I always use the initial when I sign my name. Its quite funny though because I shorten Eleanor to Ellie and Alison to Allie so that makes me Ellie Allie and then my surename also has a double L in it too.... (though I am not posting my surename online)... so my name is like a tongue twister :D
I have three middle names too; I'm Linda Mary Lilith Cherry Surname.
I hate filling in official forms;)
I was adopted when I was 6 years old...was Wanda Marie (hate it!) and since then I've been Melissa Michelle. I got to pick my name and I use it like everyone else, to sign documents but I only hear my mom use it when I say or do something that shocks her or I get in trouble, nobody else uses it. I don't even get called by my first name...I go by Misty (there's a story behind that, too).
Pretty funny since I'm 39 years old, lol. I guess nothing really ever changes...
I have a middle name, but I actually go by a nickname, so I only use my first and middle names on legal documents.
My middle name is Grace. I never really liked it, but it was my great-grandmother's first name. It does sound Okay with my name though:
Alyssa Grace.
My initials are AGG. :p
I have one too and over the years have decided it isn't so bad. I think I decided it was ok after my grandmother passed on as it was her middle name so it kinda made me feel I would always have a piece of her. I would have preferred her first name instead but oh well.
My middle name is Harriett.
David I will give your last name a go. Phonically I would say 'Pitz E Ka'. And I would also venture a guess and say your family comes from southern Italy maybe Sicily or Calabria?
I have a middle name, in fact I have 2: I got the names of my godmother(Mariette) and my godfather(Jacques) :D
We never use middle names here:rolleyes:
My first and middle name depended on who my mom was yelling at..
For example.
"Steven, Michael, Richard, James or what ever your name is!"
:eek::rolleyes:
My first and middle are Leslie Erin. First name is Scotch and middle is Irish and my maiden name is French, as I'm Scotch/Irish and French.
We all have middle names in our family. Mine was Maureen.:) I really thought
everyone was given a middle name at birth, but guess that's not the case.
Actually, we all have 2 middle names if you count our confirmation names
too. Mine was Theresa. We were all able to chose our own confirmation
names.
p.s. Yes I do use my given middle name on all business documents.
Megan Irene
Irene after my grandma on my dad's side I believe.
I have a middle name but I'm not telling. With all the concern about identity theft these days, I'm far more cautious about giving out information, especially on the Internet.
Interesting thread. :) My middle name is Kyria, and I always sign my credit card slips with a 'K'.
Lynn is my middle name. Amber Lynn. My Dad calls me Amber Lynn and some people at work found out my middle name and they call me Amber Lynn. I like my middle name. My parents chose it because it flows with Amber, you know quick off the tongue. However since being married my maiden name has become my middle name on my driver's license and social security card. Some paperwork still comes with Amber L. on it. I'll always be Amber Lynn.
my middle name is "Mercy" but I dont use it aside from legal stuff that requires me too lol.
