If Danger is Austin Powers' middle name, what is your middle name?

EDIT: People seem to be misunderstanding. Not your actual middle name. A fake middle name. Like this:

Confusion is my middle name. (Actually, it's Berwick.)

I'm glad to see that everyone has such pretty real middle names, though.

Elora and Alora?

One of my dear friends is having a baby girl and plans on using this name, spelled Elora. I absolutely ADORE the name in either form, but my husband can not be convinced, unfortunately. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else pronounces the two differently?

Elora for me is 'Ell-ora', whereas I say Alora like 'Ah-lora'.

Is it just me? Which do you prefer? Also, what comes to mind when you hear Nora?

I am so not getting any work done.

'unique names' of yesterday...

[caramelskies.livejournal.com]

names that start out original but turn up everywhere!
I know people that named their kids names that they had never heard:

Whitney, Megan, Makinsey, Makayla, Bayla, Ashlynn, Tyler, Caidyn, Jordan, Madison,Aiden, Kaylie, Maylie, Bailey, Amy, etc.

granted, these kids are in their 20's now but what names do you know that started out as different and turned into huge trends?

So, a couple months ago, I posted several names that my husband and I were considering for our baby boy. (That post is here - http://community.livejournal.com/baby_names/1374765.html)

Your opinions helped us narrow it down to 4, and now we are down to 2 favorites (one is his fav, and the other is mine) and have chosen a middle name that complements both of our family histories. So, now I ask...

[Poll #1031306]

(Note, my husband is a photography grad student, so Ansel being the name of a famous photographer isn't a bad thing to us. We aren't naming the kid after the photographer - we just both kind of like the name. It's more of a coincidence that it's a famous photographer.)

Thanks!
