ncorrenti 0 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I was talking to my mum on the phone this evening and she told me that my cousin's girlfriend had had a baby boy. They've given him not one, but three middle names, which I think is a bit over the top. What's the point of middle names anyway? Does anyone actually use theirs? Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Yes. I go by mine but don't use my first name. 3 middle names is way excessive. Link to post Share on other sites
ncorrenti 0 Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 How come you don't use your first name? Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I was named after my grandfather. Never liked the name (liked him). My middle name feels more like me. Anyways, my parents, the one's who named me, started calling me by my middle name from birth. First name was just sort of honorific. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 My middle name is pretty useless. 3 middle names... what was the reason for that? They couldn't decide on one or something? Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 3 middle names? janken woulda been easier I think or maybe flip a coin. we now baptize thee Johnathan Michael Robert Timothy Smith. Original dont you think? Just call him John Mike Bob Tim Smith Link to post Share on other sites

kintaro 0 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I have an Hawaiian friend that gave his baby a middle name like 40 letters long (in Hawaiian)! The kid won't be able to spell it until he's 14. Link to post Share on other sites
ncorrenti 0 Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 I have no idea why they had to have three middle names! Haven't spoken to that particular cousin in a couple of years so I'm a bit out of the loop. I don't use my middle name, nor do I use my real first name (haven't since I was a kid).

bushpig 0 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Yes you can! My name is Bushpig and I make no bones about that! Link to post Share on other sites
ncorrenti 0 Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hehe, it's not actually a big secret or anything. My real name is Nicolina, which is basically the Italian variant of Nicole. The 'ina' bit on the end is this quirky thing the Italians sometimes do when naming baby girls - kind of like a pet name. You're meant to drop the 'ina' bit when they become teenagers. But I insisted everyone call me Nicole when I started grade one. My parents sometimes call me Nicolina to annoy me. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 hehe, pricks eh! That's cool. Kinda like the Japanese using ko (not so often with kids now) for girls names. Keiko, Natsuko, Setsuko, Unko ( sorry for that last one any J-speakers) Link to post Share on other sites
