...what would you pick?

(Well, you technically *can* choose it, but that costs money.)

I'm thinking either Zebulon, or Megatron.

I wonder what would happen if I started writing out those on application forms and my resume. Would the evil government fine me? Hmm. It'd be kind-of cool to get mail addressed to a "Megatron", though.

As a side-note, what *is* your middle name? Mine's Ryan. Boring, no?

While I like mine, Joshua, I'd say that if I could actually choose my own middle name, it would be Xavier, just so I could have the letter X in my initials.

I've never really liked mine. Harper. It's mum's maiden name, but I really don't like mum's side of the family. I'd rather use grandmum's maiden name (Daddy's mum), Behrends. They were going to give me the middle name Behrends had I been a boy, so I don't understand why I can't do it now :/...

A lot of places, I just go by the pseudonym Alice Behrends because it's my nickname and my favoured middle name thrown together all at once :D!

kleroy, because my last name is irish.. but black people use it too.. so i could confuse people.. or something..

my real middle name is thomas.. i hate it.. i wanted to choose.. em.. this hermit saints name.. but mom said no.. and i really didnt care.. that bitch.

My middle name is Faye

But if I got to pick I'd choose Marie..or something I don't know.
But it's better than having a middle name that begins with an F..especially when your last name begins with a U.
Get it?

Studboy.

My middle name is Peter, my Grandads name.
I've never really thought of changing it. It's pretty boring but I'm just used to it. Maybe 'Superman'... Yea that sounds cool.

I'd probably change it to "Moe", "Bob", "Nate", or something like that. Why? Because then I would remember how to spell it.

My middle name is Eliot... Or is it Elliot? Elliott? Eliott?

Hence the cause of my confusion.

I suppose "Oh-Great-Lord-and-Master" would be a nice middle name though...

it would have to be 'middle'

it would have to be 'middle'
:D I like that one.

My middle name is "Cherie". I like it, but when I was younger, I used to want it to be my first name, because sooooo many people have the same first name as me. :(

I know someone called 'Phil Phee'.

I bet he doesnt give a fuck about changing his middle name.

My middle name is "Cherie". I like it, but when I was younger, I used to want it to be my first name, because sooooo many people have the same first name as me. :(

Yeah, I know the feeling. Most people end up calling me by my surname. Meh.

My name is Dan Allen N. which is pretty cool, cause my initials are D.A.N. I've always just in general been a big fan of the name Vincent. I'm totally jealous of my nephew, Hunter Vincent Crippen. How badass of a name is that?

and now there is cherie blair ; bet ure glad u didnt change now:p

Lol, I never thought of that :p
Not that it would matter here anyway...

My middle name's William, but I think I'd prefer its German root Wilhelm. It's a little easier to remember the meaning that way: direct translation.

if i could choose my name it would be simply themnax. no first, last or middle. just themnax. if someone else also chose that name we could distinguish ourselves from each other by place of birth, or other embellishment. but i would not and do not, choose to name any person, place or (kind of) thing, after any other person, place or thing (other then places named after combinations of things, some of those can be pretty cool)

names would be generated by rolling roll playing dice, or some software equivelant, in ways that would come up with pronouncable, but otherwise completely random and origeonal combinations of sounds.

No, thanks. I'll stick to my "wolf with shield" and "helm of perseverance."

I've no middle name (that's nothing very uncommon in France).

And I don't know which one I would like to have if I needed to chose any ;)

You live fairly close to Germany. Perhaps you know if they use middle names much. My impression is that they don't, but I just wanted that confirmed or denyed. If you did use one, you should go with Beowulf.

I didn't think so. Most of Europe doesn't seem too big on them.

I didn't think so. Most of Europe doesn't seem too big on them.

Which is ironic, because not long ago, most people had, like, 5 names.

My middle name would be "Ahmed", because I love the "chh" sound, in the middle.

if i could have chosen my middle it would be my first name and my first name woould be my middle name.
my middle name is Elise.

I suppose "Oh-Great-Lord-and-Master" would be a nice middle name though...Elliot be my middle name. I never use it's not any paperwork except my birth certificate. I was also going to be given Winston, Hamlet and Tulip, but they changed their mind at the last minute. Winston was my dad's idea, Hamlet because my mum crushed a Hamlet Cigar case, instead of my dad's hand, during birth and Tulip because my Grandma inundated my parents with tulips when she heard I had been born.

I'd choose Kanabia :p

I have two middle names (though one is actually my first name... odd decision by my parents) Carl (charles) and Mikael, though I'd rather have Mikael as my first name I think...

I'm thinking maybe "Von" or "De La".

If I could choose?

Danger.

That would be just too funny.

However, "Don Diego De La Mantilla" has a certain ring to it, no?

Just beat me to it.

Yes. 'Danger is my middle name!' A classic.:)

'Powerfuck' would make a good middlename. :)

D: All of the Above. :)

I used to hate my first name, but have decided to embrace it. As far as my middle name,it's Marie. Pretty boring. I would shorten it to M.

Jon. Very generic middle name, though my first name is biblical. Jedidiah, a name I have never liked. But I was always called JJ by family, thus I'm just Jay to most people now.

Dyn-O-mite! :D

Maxwell >_<
If I had the choice mine would be Anthony

Jon. Very generic middle name, though my first name is biblical. Jedidiah, a name I have never liked. But I was always called JJ by family, thus I'm just Jay to most people now.
I have a friend named Jedidiah, when we were in elementary school we called him Jed, but now he goes by Di, and also (nothing to do with it I am sure) is a tribute artist for Princess Diana (looks just like her).

(in case anyone is wondering what a tribute artist is, that's his fancy way of saying impersonater, I think drag queen, but he assures me that he is not gay and that drag queens have to be)

I think a majority of cross dressers are actually straight. I've never met anyone else with the name Jedidiah. Now, I had a guy named Jebidiah in my highschool physics class, due to the fact our last names are close together we actually sat together. Burnt out little stoner.

I'm totally jealous of my nephew, Hunter Vincent Crippen. How badass of a name is that?

Damn, even the initials HVC are pretty badass on their own.

ah, but he isn't really a cross dresser, he just likes Princess Di, he said nobody would question his sexual orientation if he went around dressed like Elvis, although we might question his sanity.

I (technically) don't have a middle name; my first name is John-Ross. However, if I had to choose, I think I would've gone after John Wayne. Kind of generic, but I would be named after my dad as well as one of my heroes. I guess I'll just have to settle for sharing names with a 19th Century Cherokee chief!! :rolleyes:

Refused Party Program's middle name is "Party" which he seems to be satisfied with. If he were to change it, I think he would most likely go with "Carnage", or in keeping with the times, add a -Xcore to his last name.

I don't have a middle name, but that's cool. In my family, middle names only ever came out if you were in SERIOUS shit as a kid.

All my female cousins had the middle name Marie, so you'd hear it go off rapid-fire....

"Kristin Marie, Lisa Marie, Dina Marie, Alaina Marie, and....!"

I took Irene as a confirmation name, which is cool because Irene means peace (http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Irene). It's also cool because it's my aunt's name, with whom I am very close.

If I could choose a middle name, it would probably be Alexandra or Katherine, as I like them both.

I took Anthony. At the time, my 11 year old mind didn't quite think far enough ahead to see that it technically made my initials CRAK. :(

I like the way "Lucifer" sounds, so perhaps that, although Patrick isn't a bad middle name, either.

I took Anthony. At the time, my 11 year old mind didn't quite realise that it technically made my initials CRAK. Lol. You didn't ever initial things with that confirmation name, did you?

The middle name's 'Alan', but I'd prefer 'Hot Pockets'.

Lol. You didn't ever initial things with that confirmation name, did you?

No, but I should. :D

Small problem being that I gave up on that silly religion, but oh well. :p

I choose to look on the bright side of it all. My middle name(s) are a sign of uniqueness.

Ismael Stanislaus.

Cinead

I would change my middle name to James :)


The name sounds better. :p

I would change my middle name to James :)


The name sounds better. :pNo, don't inflict yourself with that name, I beg you.

Ismael Stanislaus.

Maybe not that unique. Lithuanian background?

Or did your parents just pick it 'cause it looks cool? :D

Legal middle name: Michael
Confirmation name: Joseph
What I use for my middle name (being the middle of my name): Chaeljo.

If I changed my legal middle name, I'd make it Mykill, so what I use as my middle name would be spelled exactly as it sounds.

If I were to change my middle name, I'd go with something somewhat normal, like "Lucas", because having "Danger" there is just fucking up my paper work.
Ever try filling out forms to get insurance, and then write down "Danger" as your middle name? They always assume that I'm fucking around, and then when I prove that my middle name really is "Danger", they immediatly decide that I must be some sort of sky-diving, explosives-obsessed hitman and jack up my rates.

Jamie "the devil" Edwards

I don't care enough to change mine. It's just an unused name.

My middle name is Winters. I'm pretty satisfied with it.

A three letter monosyllable word that starts with y and ends with n, seeing as my first and last names already do.

Cool.

Either "Danger" or "Trouble"

:D

Your full name would be something like Yan Yun Yin, then?

No, don't inflict yourself with that name, I beg you.
My first name is a kind of James I think... "Jonas". But I'm usually called Uncle Jay by family :p

Your full name would be something like Yan Yun Yin, then?

Sounds like the Ku Klax Klan.

You got my first and last names right. Are they in my signature, do did you guess them? It's pretty amazing if you did.

You don't have a sig; I'm just omniscient, that's all.

something posh like
Alfred or similar.

My middle name is James. If I were to choose, I'd drop my surname and just call myself Rob James. Or possibly Jim Roberts. Maybe Jimmy Roberts. Then I could shorten it to JimBob.

Claire. Or Caitlin. Or maybe Emma. I don't know.

While I like mine, Joshua, I'd say that if I could actually choose my own middle name, it would be Xavier, just so I could have the letter X in my initials.

same, mines william

I have 4 middle names which I like very much, so I wouldn't change them.

And this decision would be incorrect?

I don't even have a middle name. Never spent a thought on one! :eek:

(Now the "eek" smiley is gone the the "flame" smiley is still there?!?)

And this decision would be incorrect?
Of coruse! I'm more of a "knife in your kidneys and a .50 caliber round in your skull"-sort of hitman, and I only went skydiving that one time because I had a coupon for free lessons.

You went once when you had a coupon for more than one lesson? What kind of crazy person are you?

My middle name is Dominie, which is Scottish for clergy. Exactly what I needed- not!

I'd either remove the "e", making it Latin for Lord, or change it completely, to something like Luciana. I like that name.

My daughter's middle name is Caitlyn (pronounce it Kate-lynn or Kathleen, I don't care!). It's one of my favourite names, not just because it has two pronunciations. It means pure beauty- which my daughter is :)

Mine's Leo after my mom's dad, to balnce my having the same name as my dad, granddad, and great grandfather, though the first two spell it differently. Anyway my dad also has his moms dad's name as his middle name so its tradition, same as the first name.

Which is ironic, because not long ago, most people had, like, 5 names.
Life is rife with irony.

Corneliu. Just say it out loud and you'll see its greatness.

I took Irene as a confirmation name, which is cool because Irene means peace (http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Irene). It's also cool because it's my aunt's name, with whom I am very close.

I thought they stopped the practise of choosing confirmation names after Vatican II D:...

I'm thinking maybe "Von" or "De La".
Those are actually part of the last name. Epithets aftera fashion.

I'd choose Kanabia :p
That's not bad, actually. I wouldn't mind, except my "helmet of perseverance" is better for my "wolf with shield.":p

I used to hate my first name, but have decided to embrace it. As far as my middle name,it's Marie. Pretty boring. I would shorten it to M.
Like Harry S Truman?

In my family, middle names only ever came out if you were in SERIOUS shit as a kid.
Yeah, in mine too. I think that's the sole purpose for my family using them, just to have another word in which to place so much wrath.

The middle name's 'Alan', but I'd prefer 'Hot Pockets'.
"How about a poptart with meat?" "Johnson, that's disgusting. Get to work on that." (Jim Gaffigan)

Either "Danger" or "Trouble"

:D
No question, yours is "Trouble.";)

I'm thinking either Zebulon, or Megatron.

I wonder what would happen if I started writing out those on application forms and my resume. Would the evil government fine me? Hmm. It'd be kind-of cool to get mail addressed to a "Megatron", though.

As a side-note, what *is* your middle name? Mine's Ryan. Boring, no?

Are you serious about the Megatron thing? Cause, that would not be "kind-of cool"-it would be TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! Not sure if the evil government would charge you any differently for changing your name to either of those 2 you mentioned, though. I know of a guy who legally changed his name to Optimus Prime, never met him personally though. By the way, did you mean Nebulon, or are you just playing with words, since there was a race called the Nebulons in 1 or 2 of the TF universes? Also, which is your favorite Megs? G1, Beast Wars, Dreamwave, etc.(sorry, had to ask, since you mentioned it:p)? Back on to the actual subject, my middle name is Rose. I've never really thought of changing it because of 3 things: 1. It simply goes well with my first name(Linda). 2. How many people do you know with that as either their first or second name(I knew 1 who's last name was Rose)? 3. It's the shortened version of my Grandma's first name(Rosena), and (especially) since I liked her, I'd feel bad for changing it.

My daughter's middle name is Caitlyn (pronounce it Kate-lynn or Kathleen, I don't care!). It's one of my favourite names, not just because it has two pronunciations. It means pure beauty- which my daughter is :)
I know a Caitlin who fits that description, except she isn't your daughter.:p

2. How many people do you know with that as either their first or second name(I knew 1 who's last name was Rose)?
The only one I can think of is the actress Rose McGowan....

Probably "Muthafuggin"

Corneliu. Just say it out loud and you'll see its greatness.
I think you're right. It has an air of greatness about it, sortta like the song Tribute by Tenacious D.

danger. Thats my middle name.;)

At the risk of sounding dumb, who was she(as in, what's she been in)? Her name sounds vaguely familiar.... But then again, my memory isn't the greatest, so chances are, I really don't have any idea who she is or what she's been in.:confused:

I don't know... The Doom Generation (or something like that), Jawbreaker....I have no idea other than that. I think she stopped doing movies for a long while to do a TV series (read that in Star TV). I remember her from Jawbreaker; I thought it was amusingly absurd.

That makes you what, number four?:rolleyes: ;)

Hey, waddya know, my memory wasn't playing tricks on me! YAY!! I recognized her name from Jawbreaker. Thank you, Fascist Dominion!

Thats my grandmas name, though it might be short for Rosemary come to think of it.

Coincidentally, it's also the name of a pornstar.:eek:

I like my middle name, and I would keep it.

I'm sure you realize this, but that isn't very specific, especially given the nature of Chinese.:)

Danger would be my middle name. Would suit me perfectly. Five!

"Xi". The character means "stream" in Chinese, but is also homonyms with the characters for western and happiness.

See, that's what I meant by the nature of Chinese. :D I don't speak Chinese at all, but I am familiar with the notion that it's subtle nuances can drastically alter the meaning of a word. It's really rather intimidating.
Out of curiosity, how would you say "The universe is infinite."?

I thank you much.:fluffle: Now on to the matter of pronunciation.:) I'm afraid I doubt my skills with phonetic Chinese. With phonetic Japanese, I'm practically a master, for someone who doesn't speak the language, but not Chinese.

My first name is a kind of James I think... "Jonas". But I'm usually called Uncle Jay by familyJonas is a much better name than James.
That explains your NS name, it's an anagram of your first name.

But then again, my memory isn't the greatest, so chances are, I really don't have any idea who she is or what she's been in.:confused:She on the soon-to-be-ending Charmed and she was in Scream, as well as the other movies that have been mentioned. She was also in the most recent made-for-TV movie about Elvis.

Will, my real middle names are Wilson, and Hurlbert If I could choose, Wilson would become Warfare, and hurlbert would become Kajeenith.

This is for reasons only I Know.

Most US states have no laws regarding what you list as your middle name.

yu zhou shi wu xian de.

yu zhou = universe

wu xian de = infinite.

yu3 zhou4 shi4 wu2 xian4 de0.

That helps only if you're familiar with pinyin.

Literal translation:

yu = cosmos
zhou = can't describe, same as above I guess
shi = is
wu = no
xian = border
de = just a character you add to the adjective to show that it's describing the preceding noun. Weirdness, eh?

My middle name is Mr. Awesome, but I wish it was Douglas.

You mean like Douglas Adams? He's cool.

Kiryu-100 posts-shi
