Do you like your middle name?

Carl? I never use it. Sometimes I use the middle initial. I have the same as my father, so he was a senior and I am a junior. My grandmother once told me that she wanted to spell my dad's middle name with a K. Karl which would have been the German spelling. The woman who made out the birth certificate spelled it the American way with a C. She offered to do it again with a K, but my grandmother just told her to forget about it and leave it with a C.
 
I'm neutral about my middle name. I only use it when I write my signature or if I'm filling out some form or other that requires me to identify myself.
Both my first and middle names are the names of younger brothers among Jesus' disciples......appropriate I suppose cos I'm the youngest of three brothers.
 
I HATE my middle name. The only place you'll find is on my birth certificate, passport, and driver's license. Otherwise, it is just "C." I've often thought of changing it. But the hassle of legally changing it, keeps me from doing that. My brothers have normal middle names. It just goes to show that "mom like them more". :D

Mom took one look at you when you were born, and said "This one is, uh... special." :giggle:
 
Don't get me started on my name. I hate mine. First, middle, last. My middle name is a shorter version of my mother's first name. Just what I wouldn't want. And my last name was changed to my stepfather's when I was 7. Never legally, we just started using the name. We were not asked, we had no choice. And since I never got married, I still have the name.

I have toyed with the idea of changing it back after my stepfather is gone. How much hassle that would be, I'm not sure. But I cringe when I see or hear my name. Even at my eye appointment last week. I have no idea who that name is.
 
Erm, not really. Denise is erm...... erm.... dead. I wouldn't answer to it.
It goes good enough with my first name if both said together, (you know, like MaryJane) but Denise on it's own, nah!
 
My middle name is my father's mother's name. While it flows well, I do not like it one bit. I go by my birth name, not my baptismal name and I also have a confirmation name. I simply sign with my first name, middle initial and last name on all documents.
 
The maternal side of my parentage was enchanted that they were descended from a member of the Mayflower, thus my middle name. Ironically I looked it up and there are two million of us descendants.

That's lousy. I hope you do get to change it someday. Just think, no more cringing.
