talking of chavvy names reminded me of my horrific middle name... (it's not chavvy, just horrible).
anyway, my theory is that almost without exception everyone hates their middle name....
d'ya think? it could be a study... psychologically damaging middle names. damn these parents- they have no consideration!

Re: middle names
What's your middle name then?
I must admit to having a dislike of my middle name, I won't say it cause I can't but it's the same name as Bananaman's alter ego.
And no I don't have a crow with Bill Oddie's voice!
Re: middle names

Re: middle names
Re: middle names
A friend of mine has the middle names Henry Llewellyn - now that's unfortunate.
Hopefully he doesn't read this forum.
Re: middle names

i too hope she doesn't read this. although i happen to know she doesnt soooo im safe!
Re: middle names
My mates is Charles which ain't spectacular until you realise it makes his initials CCC
Me and my mates have a theory that Karl Kennedy's middle name must begin with K so his middle name is KKK!

Re: middle names
My middle name is 'Rhys' which i quite like.
There were some crazy middle-names in my year back in school, one kid's was 'Beneventula', whilst another's actual was 'de' so that his fullname was Kyle de Butler. mad. my girlfriend's sister goes out with a guy whose parents are from Sr Lanka, and he can't even say his middle name!

Re: middle names
Apparently when my parents were thinking of baby names, my Dad meticulously checked for all embarrassing initials possibilities.
If I’d been a boy, my Mum had been all for the Colin Robert combination, which my Dad immediately vetoed on the grounds that to add those names before the surname Young was tantamount to child cruelty.
I think I agree…

Leefje, Bas ,Kees, Wim, Jan, Betje, Noach, Anke, Japjan, Cees, Elke Cokkie, Faas, Koos, Femke, Trijntje, Heike, Joos,Marijke, Mieke, Pim, Siemen etc etc
(I live in Belgium and I learn Dutch, so these are just names I have on this page from my book)
I also have two middle names (my two grandmothers names) and I think theyre really crappy: Margaret Una.... so my name in full makes me sound like a really old granny...
My friend is half Greek and half Belgian, and cos shes Greek she had to take her Grandmothers name for her middle name which is Chrissoula, and she reeeeeeeally hated that name, so they changed it to Christina... which I think is unfair on all the other poor people who have to take their grannies names.... ahem, like me!

Re: middle names
Re: middle names
My middle name is Peter. It was my first name that my on-drugs-parents went to town on. Mama Bamos has a lot to answer for. Although my sister got stuck with Danelia. Which is like a proper name, only spelt wrong. I suppose I got off lightly.
Re: middle names
Re: middle names
Re: middle names
Her other name was Flora, maybe I got off lightly...
Re: middle names
most people dislike their middle names...
thats just the way it goes....
mine is.....
Jane.
horrible horrible horrible.
what's funny is that when i was really young and me an my bro used to play games and be new people, i always called myself Jane... and i didnt *actually* realise it was my middle name untill i had already decided i hated it.
When people are being annoying (famile this is) they call me Chloe-Jane.
which pisses me off.
No, don't even think about it...
Re: middle names
Re: middle names
Jane is not a terrible name....just boring....
Just like my real middle name of Paul.....I have often lied and just said its P so it is slightly less boring......
So maybe every DISer who doesn't like their middle name....just use the initial.
Re: middle names
although i did try that for a while when i was about...9?
Chloe J. (something)
yeh... or i should just never bring up the topic of middle names...!!!
Re: middle names
for some reason me, my sis or my folks dont have middel names
Re: middle names
Alessa (Protector)
Aricia (Princess of the Royal Blood of Athens)
Elodie (Blossom)
Anastasia (Ressurection)
I still think Anastasia is a pretty name, despite its connections with the She-Man singer.
Re: middle names
One of the names....isn't one you hear a lot nowadays. I once asked "where did you get a stupid name like that" to be told it was my grandfathers middle name.
My dad's middle name is........
CLIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: middle names
I also think that Chloe is a nice name...so again you are vindicated.
Persephone is also pretty although it can be humourously mispronounced to be ugly (Percyphone)
I think a lot of the Eu prefixed names are nice.
By the way DISers.....did you all know that the word Europe is a greek word and means 'well watered'
A good name I think you will agree....one we should ponder on as Europeans to reflect on how relatively lucky we are.
How about Tisephone, Atropa, Hecate, Clotho, Lachises.
Psyche...My perception of them is clouded by other things but I reckon the sounds may not be too pleasent to the average British ear.
Re: middle names
Melissa in anqtiquity was a very ancient goddess of the bees.
Persephone (pronounced Fur-Seff-On-ee) has two different forms, (the name means "Maiden"). Kore or Korai.
An unusual name, but hard to fathom for the average joe who thinks its something to do with a "Phone"
Hecate......Far Darter (Goddess of Witches)
Atropos, Lachesis and Clotho where the fates. Not sure what the other two mean, but "Atropos" means "Spinner"
"There are two types of people in the world - The Greeks and everyone else, who wish they where Greek"
- Gotta love that quote.
Some Greek names are hard on the British Ear.
Try pronouncing Lyaeus.
Re: middle names
i really love that name, and i love her whole family (which is huuuge). my uncle and hers wedding was the most fun i have ever had. greek people are just fantastic.
Re: middle names
Apperently he did this because HP Sauce now sponsers the brown ball and he did it for a laugh.
Re: middle names
I think Zoe is also a Greek name, it means "Light".
Gazza has also changed his name, he's now G-8.
I kid you not.
The Greeks are fantastic, the man downstairs is Greek and he said to me, "You nice Greek girl, you want to find nice Greek boy".
Except I'm not really Greek, only have some Greek blood.

Re: middle names
my dads middle name is MacGregor, which is nice and scottish. also my friend's (female) middle name is MacKenzie which is cool. my other friend's middle name is Alice, which she hates as she constantly get's "Alice? Who the fuck is Alice!?" haha.
Re: middle names
It means Joan or Joanna.
I like the name Alice, think it's pretty, so is it's German form "Alix"
Re: middle names
On a slightly different note, i decided the other week that if i were ever to have children, then i'd name them Appollo Creed Jones and Clubber Lang Jones.
Re: middle names
That makes the names for my children look normal:
Travis (Boy)
Athena, Kairi, Anastasia, Aricia, Alessa, Alice, Sarah or Fransisca (Girl)
Re: middle names
Sid, Seth, Satan, Elvis, Roger, Bart, Dee Dee (boys)
Ari, Dee Dee (girls)
heh.
Re: middle names
Re: middle names
my full name is Katherine Sarah Louise Ashford, but Katie will do as the long version makes me sound like some long reigning monarch or something.
not nice
Re: middle names
Don't know any other variants of Sarah I'm afraid except the French version "Sara".
Which makes the name look misspelt in my opinion.
Re: middle names
Re: middle names
Re: middle names
Re: middle names
If you want variations: Sarai, Saara, Sari, Zara, Sarita, Sassa, Sally or Sadie. Hebrew, Finnish, Hungarian, English, Spanish, Swedish, English and English respectively.
I prefer a simple Sarah though.

Re: middle names
My parents were actually stupid enough to think that the Registry Office charged you more for registering additional names. So I have always been without one to the amazement of everyone the topic has ever come up. However the name Frank tends to run throughout the family so I might name my son (or daughter) that if I ever had one.

Re: middle names
My mothers sister was called "Sarah" and she herself was given a variant of the name "Sallie".
Unfortunately my name is as boring as hell and there is only one version of spelling.
Re: middle names
Friday ....like the French Vendredi from Venus (in Latin pantheanology)
So everyone Friday is the day for luurve.....when valentines day or the 13th fall on a Friday I guess its especially auspicious.....Perhaps one should visit the Cerne Abbas Giant on these dates.
