View Full Version : Who here has a middle name and if so...
Brian Damage 04-15-2006, 04:50 PM ...is it a name chosen to honor somebody? MY eldest daughter is Brianna Nicole. Her middle name is to honor my wife's twin sister who died at birth. My youngest daughter's name is Ashlyn Grace. She got her name Grace as in the Grace of God, because my wife had trouble getting pregnant the second time around and she prayed for help and within a week, she was pregnant.
Karen* 04-15-2006, 04:51 PM My middle name is Marie...I don't know where that came from. :lol:
Janice 04-15-2006, 04:53 PM Eileen (ugh), after my aunt/godmother. I guess I'm lucky though because my parents considered that as my first name. I like the name Janice better.
Kazza 04-15-2006, 05:02 PM My middle name is Marie...I don't know where that came from. :lol:
I am a Karen Marie too and also have no idea what were my parents thinking.:D
Ireneparalegal 04-15-2006, 05:06 PM My middle name is Eloise. It is my late mother's first name. However, when I was growing up, I was called by that name rather than Irene. It is a custom in hispanic families to be called by your middle name rather than your first name. However, in school, kids would spell it wrong or they called me "Weezie" just like on the Jeffersons (that was cool). When I finally graduated and left catholic school (after 8 long years!!! 1st thru 8th grade) I wanted to go to public school so bad. I was tired of uniforms, etc. When I was enrolled in high school I insisted my first name be the name I would use. The only person who still called me Eloise was my dad. I don't hear my name anymore cuz he died two years ago and so I am Irene to everyone.

It is? That must be in 'modern Hispanic' families. I come from one and recall being called a few things except my middle name.:lol:

Mr. Television 04-15-2006, 05:31 PM My middle name is Raymond. I was named after my Grandfather.
Mijada 04-15-2006, 06:11 PM Danielle. My brothers mn is Daniel and since I was born on his B-Day my mom wanted a name that would match with his.
Brian Damage 04-15-2006, 06:17 PM That's very sad. :(
I think it is. You know, as long as I've known my wife, I have never asked her about her feelings on the issue. She herself was an infant when her sister died, but being that they were twins, I wonder if there is a little void in her life. I just never went into specifics with her about it.
James"Thunder"Early 04-15-2006, 06:26 PM Maguire, I'm not sure what the reason for it was though
TheHappyBurgerMeister 04-15-2006, 07:08 PM My middle name is Louise and that's my grandma's first name. Also, a lot of other woman in my family have the middle name Louise too.

Brad Russ 04-15-2006, 09:12 PM My middle name is James, which is the first name of my dad's biological father who I never met.
Brieannas21 04-15-2006, 09:26 PM My middle name is Marie, it has no meaning behind it. I guess my mom just liked it LOL, But my first name she picked out of some book she was reading.
swedeace 04-15-2006, 09:28 PM My middle name is Juanita, and I hear it was named after a godmother on my paternal side. My dad was always secretive, so my mom never knew who she was or anything. I only saw a pic of her, but she died when I was really little and never met her.
Wanna know a funny, coincidental story? We had two female co-workers: one was Mary and the other was Carol. Their middle names were switched of the other's names, so their names are:
-Mary Carole
-Carol Mary
They would get teased about it. How funny.... :lol:
rusyd 04-15-2006, 09:28 PM My middle name is Mary. All the girls in my family middle name is Mary. I think it's a Catholic thing.;)
Number 9 Dream 04-15-2006, 10:50 PM My middle name is Anne and it's not in honor of anyone.
But my brother Kevin's middle name is Keith, after my uncle (who is Keith Kevin). I thought it was cool how they did that :)

My middle name is Elizabeth, no real reason other than they liked it with Sara and it's biblical.
KissMyGrits 04-16-2006, 01:09 AM My first name is Michelle and my middle name is Ann. I was named after my dad (Michael) and my aunt Rose Ann. I always thought it was silly growing up, now I love it though!!
dawsongirl 04-16-2006, 01:24 AM No reason at all.
I guess my dad's family used to have this tradtion of giving the son his father's name as his middle name...but my grandmother didn't want to/refused/didn't like her husband's first name (no one called him by it either I don't think), so my dad's middle name is his dad's middle name.
My dad's name would have been my middle name had I been a boy. But I ruined that. :lol:
Czas na Zywiec 04-16-2006, 02:03 AM Stefan after my dad, and his dad, and his dad, and his dad, etc. lol my daad wanted to give me that as a first name too to continue the tradition, but my mom wouldn't have it, so they setteled on Chris.
My second middle name is Antoni. I don't really use it in official papers because I didn't get it until 8th grade (confirmation), but I add it on to further add the longness and foreigness of my name. :D
Krzysztof Stefan Antoni Gryglak. Beat that!
