whats your middle name

[captaincash]

whats your middle name and why did u get that name???

[Vautrin]

Not going to share my "middle name", but I was named after both my grandfathers. That is a tradition in a lot of families here. My first name, comes from my paternal grandfather, my second name comes from my maternal grandfather. As simple as that.

My middle name is Ruprecht and I got it because I like banging on my pots.

We were so poor that my parents couldn't afford to give me a middle name...

Barbara - after the Saint of Artillery
Felicitas - after a saint who stood up for her Christian beliefs

Kind of interesting since they are the two things I'm the most passionate about.

Captain Cash
Jackson - after Stonewall Jackson, my Civil War hero
O'Neil - all males in the family are supposed to have middle names
starting with an O. So, I found one.

mine is marie-rose. our religious tradition (in quebec), a baby boy would have joseph as one of their middle names and a girl would have marie then the other name would be that of our god-mother (for a girl) or god-father (for a boy). My grandmother was my godmother. her name was rosilda. my mother didn't like that name too much so she shortened it to rose (which i'm very happy for).

I wish my first name was rose instead of my middle name. I like it better.

My name is Dian Petronela. Horrid, if you ask me . Petronela if the feminin of Petru, which is my dad's name.

Apparently mom said she chose this name because there was no saint Diana, but there was a saint Peter (Petru in Romanian), so she wanted me to have a name anniversary - incidentaly, the same as my fathers'.

My sis wears the same middle name as my mom, and they both celebrate it - saint Mary!

My parents are the least Christian people I ever met, lol , go figure :roll: !!!

Marie - don't know for sure why but I am Catholic so I am sure that had something to do with it. My first name came from a good friend of my mother's. I like your tradition Star. That is nice.

I like your tradition Star. That is nice.

I think it's nice too but unfortunately, I kind of broke the tradition with my kids. i didn't give them the "marie" name, just gave them their godmother's names for middle names. my daughter took it a step further and didn't even choosse those names. the middle names of her kids are sentimentally meaningless.

Geeze, I miss posting with you. We need a catch up thread.

in French it's very much like "petrolette" which is a bike with an engine that makes an infernal noise, lol!!!! It's worse, but what can I do?!?

Not too many people IRL know about my middle name.

I miss you too, Barb .
