    What middle names do you sport?

    I got to thinking about a ritual of mine over the past
    several years.

    My given middle name is Anne. Most women with my first
    name are an Ann(e) of some sort. Not all, but many. In the
    past three years, I have gotten in the habit of responding
    to my students' litany of, "Mrs. Bananas, you are so
    ______________!" with, "_________________ is one of my
    middle names!" So if I am so mean, I am Anne Mean Bananas.

    At this point in time, I imagine that my name is Anne
    Mean Grumpy Nasty Unfair Weird Impatient Boring Bananas. I
    am sure I forgot about a few additional names. Please be
    advised that mean and nasty are multiplied too many times
    to even count. Unfair would also be close to them.

    To be fair, I really am Anne Mean Grumpy Nasty Unfair
    Weird Impatient Boring Mom Cool Funny Nice Caring Helpful
    Bananas.

    So, what middle names do your sport?

    Hmm. My real middle name is Louise, after my mother.
    My teammates like to remind me a lot that I am a bit of a dork. (hey, I like to sing along with 80s music before school...)
    And as I teach 7th grade, I am sure I have the entire litany of names called by them, so it may go something like this:

    Dover Dork Mean Unfair Loud Crazy Fun Weird Picky Science

    I like this game. :wink:

    Finally, Dover, someone who understands me. Was it that scary? :wink:

    I like the picky! You do me proud!

    I like my middle name. It is special. My middle name is Margaret.
    My mum's middle name is Margaret
    My nana's middle name is Margaret
    I dont know about my great grandparents we dont really speak about family ever. But I hope they were Margaret too.
    When I have my first daughter I want her middle name to be Margaret to carry on the tradition.

    Incidentally, my first name in R/L begins with L... as does my mum's. She didn't realise when she named me but we both get mail addressed to "L. M. _____" we're constantly opening each others mail. Its quite funny at times. Mum only realised when she opened mail addressed to "her" and it was baby realated DM aimed at baby me! he ehe

    My middle name is Jake. I love it. People always think they misheard me when they ask. "Jane?" "No, Jake. After my great-great-grandfather." "Oh... weird."
