I have a hysterically kickass middle name.
It is so fucking awesome that I'm not going to tell it to you since I'd be embarrassed.

52I have two middle names.
Supposedly because Ma and Pa couldn't agree, so they named
me both.

But I digress. Please continue with the squirrel circuit semantic debate.

For my Pop's 60th birthday, I took Frank, his name, as my middle name. Nono drew up the papers and I went in front of a judge and everything.
I wasn't given a middle name at birth -- technically I was given the middle name "(none)" -- so I thought it would be a nice little thing I could do for him. To show him that I loved him and to embrace the fact that I resemble him in many ways.
I prefer having this middle name now. Pop's gone. I am reminded of him on formal occasions, about the only time one uses a middle name, and I am happy about that.
That's pretty cool. My grandfather (pretty much my dad) passed away Saturday and his first name, Donald, is my middle name as well. I'll look at it the same way from now.

54My mother has no middle name. My uncle has two. Guess he bogarted all the middle names in their family.

Without it things would have been much more difficult growing up, as the I share the same first name as my father.
I remember the night we went to Kenka, and both of us were a little...full, shall we say, of sake, and I asked you about 10 times to pronounce your full name. Just so I could giggle every time I tried to pronounce it back.
Good times, man, good times.

57My middle name is okay, except that my dad feels a need to call me by it practically all the time. I'm glad he didn't name me it, but if you're gonna call me it all the time...and not once does he ever - ever - call me by the cool nickname my middle name can be turned into.
My mom has no middle name. Either that or she dropped it. It's not important.

58A friend of mine has the middle name R.
It's not actually short for anything, just R.
My middle name is Edward, after Ed White

Ha! That place was rad, and I was PISSED.
I think I may also have told you that if you were to pronounce it the Punjabi way, it sounds like 'one hair', which is becoming increasingly true!

60My middle name is the first name of my dad, Robert. When I was a little kid, I assumed this was so everywhere, so I was dissappointed to find out that he was not given his dad's first name as a middle name.
I think this would be a good tradition. It strikes me as better than just naming the kid after yourself; kids deserve unique given names within the family.
Though they're barely used outside of officialities, they do seem to "fill out" your name.
