Have you been saddled with a middle name that raises giggles when you reveal it?
Me? My middle name is plain old "James" and I'm happy with that.
Anyone brave enough to reveal it in here? |

One of the guys I did my degree course with was always known by his fairly ordinary first name. When you go up at the degree ceremony however you are announced by your full name, turned out his middle name was not ordinary at all. Short pause followed by around 200 people saying variations on " he kept that quiet" - he took a bit of ribbing afterwards bless him |

Elizabeth after my grandma God bless her. Used to hate it when I was in trouble because I got my full title shouted down the street, much to the amusement of my pals. |

"Morag
I work with a Morag and think it's a lovely name
I'm always told it's a good scottish name. I hate it. Always have. Always will....."
Mine is a good Scottish name as well , Hume. I can honestly say it's never bothered me but I can understand how some people can hate not only middle but first names. |

Everyone I know always calls me by my middle name, lots of acquaintances don't even realise it's not my Christian name. And mine is Charles.....so everyone calls me Charlie |
