tell me, is anyone here NOT giving their future child a middle name (second name)? my child will use my maiden name for his/her middle name instead of another name i have to think up. is this the same thing?
One of my Army drill sergeants didn't have a middle name, don't know why. I think it's cool sometimes.
Interesting note: Of the famous hymn-writing brothers Charles and John Wesley, John was the only child (of 16) who had a middle name -- his full name was John Benjamin Wesley, after two of the boys before him that had died as toddlers/infants. (I wrote a report paper on JB in high school.)
