I do not have a middle name. When I asked my parents why I do not have a middle name. The reason that was given to me was “We did not want you to have a long name. We should have given you your grandmother’s name as a middle name but we instead made it your first name. “
The answer makes of sense. At least to me. To share a little secret a short name makes filling the hundreds of forms in my lifetime a little bit easier and I was really thankful to my parents for that. Do I miss having a middle name? Absolutely not! Do I hate middle names? No to that too.
I love finding out peoples middle names cause they hold great meaning. When I learn why they were given those names it clearly shows how much parents worry about. Something as simple as a name also is selected with so much care.
Cheers to the parents and their long elimination process to pick out the perfect name for their child!
