Whats your middle name and why ?

[cleverclovers]

Marie. Not sure why. It was popular in that era.

Caitlin - as homage to my maternal grandma (Katherine) and maternal aunt (Catherine). Pronounced KAIT-Lynn or CAT-Lynn depending on which relative is speaking.

Ellen... for my father's sister Eleanor, who passed away years before I was born. My first name, Lee, is after my grandfather, Leo. I am OK with my name. My father wanted to name me after my maternal and paternal grandmothers, so I was to be Dorothy Agnes until my mother said, "Over my dead body!!" Thanks, Mom!

 

[NFLDERS]

Mine is, and has been passed down from generation to generation.

 

[Disneychick75]

Teresa because it's my mom's middle name. My grandmother named her after St. Therese of Lisieux but it was misspelled on her Baptismal certificate. Mom just carried the misspelling onto my middle name.

Another Baptismal name mistake: When asked for my godmother's names, her godmother said Barbara and Cecelia. Her Baptismal certificate reads Barbara Anne Cecelia.

 

[E&Cmom]

Mine is Maria....pretty traditional Spanish middle name which seems to follow my first name Eva often.

 

[RDR_BU]

Mine is Dale, and I don't like it. I am a woman. And I have no idea why. I would love to know.

Mine is also Dale. I am a male. The name does not really bother me, but it is not the greatest.

I loathe and despise my middle name so I'm not telling.

I'd like to take this opportunity to re-middle-name myself: I choose Valerie.

It's pretty, I like every person I've ever met named Valerie, and it gives me cool initials.

So yeah, my middle name is now Valerie. Northstar Valerie.

 

[luvmarypoppins]

I don have one. I guess my parents thought my first name was enough.

They did give my sister a middle name though.

 

[Cruisin]

Ann. I'm not sure but I think if your first name is Elizabeth then your middle name has to be Ann. At least every Elizabeth I have ever met has Ann for a middle name so I connected the dots.

My daughter's name is Elizabeth but her middle name is not Ann. It is Kathryn. I always just loved the way Kathryn looks spelled that way.

 

[capegirl]

Another Michelle here, and I do know why; the Beatles.

 

[momz]

Mine is Kay. My moms middle is Kathryn but as a kid she went be her "first name" Kay. Then, I was addressed likewise as a child. I still hear it from time to time. She was named after two aunts. So I guess in a round about way, it's a family name.

 

[TB'sWidow]

Charlene I was told its the feminine version of Charles which was my father's middle name

 

[clh2]

I'm also an Ann. I don't like it and it has no significant meaning. I think if you were born anytime between 1965 and 1985 and your parents were unimaginative you either got Ann, Lynn or Marie.

This is just hilarious. I am one of 3 girls in my family, and these are our middle names, but we were born in '60, 61 and 63.

I am the Lynn, and with my first name, most have the middle name Lynn.

My DD's middle name also happens to be Lynn, only because it sounded the best with her first name. If I could have come up with anything else, I would have. I like it, I just am not a fan of naming people after other people

 

[Kitty 34]

Alice......named after my Mom's middle name.

 

[lizabu]

My daughter's name is Elizabeth but her middle name is not Ann. It is Kathryn. I always just loved the way Kathryn looks spelled that way.

You must be a rebel

 

[hegsag]

My middle name is Marie & for no special reason other than my parents like the sound of it with my first and last name.

Even earlier. My sister's middle name is Lynn, and mine was supposed to be Ann - but my mother didn't like what my initials would be, so my middle name is Lee-Ann, the first part being for my grandmother.

No, I'm not admitting how much earlier. Just earlier.

 

[asta]

Sue, because all southern girls need a middle name that can be used lyrically with their first name.

 

[bushdianee]

Elizabeth, my Mom's first name. Her middle name was Jane. her name was supposed to be Betty Jane but the Catholic church wouldn't recognize her as Betty because they considered it a nick name.
