What's your middle name and why were you named that?

[zen1]

My middle name is Ann and that was my grandma's middle name too, so I was named after my grandma.

my middle name is Louise....it was actually supposed to be Louisa after my Dad's grandmother but Dad screwed up on the birth certificate...25 years later Mom still makes fun of him about it.

Mine is Letetia! I think Mom got it from an old-time movie actress - maybe from the 40's.

DH's is Butler. His initals are JBP. He was named after his Paternal G'father. His parents had not chosen a middle name for him by the time he was born. In fact, by the time he was discharged, they were all the way in the lobby and still did not have a name. The hospital personnel would not let them leave without naming him. His parents wanted to name him James Alan Patrick - the problem with that was, it was 1943, during the 2nd World War! The initals - JAP - were not exactly appropriate at that time.

My G'mother's middle name was the odd one - Zelphia! I had not heard that before - until Sun. We were at the hospital holding our brand new baby g'daughter! Friends of DD & Sil were there, too. We were talking about names and I said that I tried to get them to name the baby Zelphia! (just kidding!!) The girl visiting said that was a family name of her's also! I think a check of our & her geneology is order!

The middle name on my birth certificate is Gay but I recently had it changed to Gabrielle, the name my mother originally wanted. My father knew that Mom wanted Gabrielle but when asked told them Gay because he didn't want me called Gabe. Well, I was nicknamed that anyway. I prefer Gabrielle. I have gone to Lisabeth Gabrielle Fontaine-Crawford.

That's my first name!!!

My middle name is just plain old Michelle, picked out of a baby name book.

My daughter's middle name is Gwyneth. My husband thought it sounded so feminine. That's how she got hers.

We're kinda comic book geeks and my sons middle names are Xavier and Parker.

Mine is Ann. I just thought all girls middle names were Ann!

My middle name is Lee, for my Dad, whose name is Leland.

 

[BedKnobbery2]

Gunta. It's the female variation of my dad's nickname, which was supposed to be his given name. Family legend has it that his father stopped at every pub between his home and the town hall to celebrate the birth of his new son, and by the time he got to the town hall to register the birth, he was so, er, "happy", he'd forgotten the name, and picked one out of the registry at random. Apparently my grandmother was none too happy about it. But the family always called him by the name he was supposed to have, and that's the name they gave me.

Mine is Louise too after my grandmother.

[huey duey & luey]

My middle name is Marie because my parents thought it sounded good with my first name, Dana.

 

[siouxi31]

My middle name is Catherine after my great-grandmother. It went along with the boring first name of Susan after my other great-grandmother. Funny thing is I can't tell which one came from the Greek side of the family because neither name is really Greek. I swore that when I had children they would have unique names. Unfortunately my daughter, Francesca, hates her name! She'd rather be called Hailey. I told her that I really wanted to name her Luciana but we couldn't have another Lou in the family (there are 4 already including my husband and son).
You can never win with naming your children. We'll have to start a thread asking if anyone actually likes their own name.

very cool! I never meet anyone named Suzette. My mom had to ask my grandma how to spell it

 

[caitycaity]

my given middle name is my grandmother's two names mushed together. now my middle name is my maiden name.

 

[noodles]

Mine is Mary after my mom's sister (who has disowned herself from our family ).

My daughters is Grace after my DH grandmother. My DD was born on my DH birthday who was born on his dads birthday who was born on his mom's birthday. Follow me? Four generations in a row born on the same birthday.

My middle name is Melita and it was the name of the ship my Dad was on when my mom gave birth to me. Then they liked it so much that they gave it to my older sister too - so we both have Melita as our middle name.
