I have three middle names: George Joseph Patrick

I’m not exactly clear on why. It had something to do with my grandfather being in a Catholic orphanage when he was a young kid. Maybe he had three patron saints???

Warfield - not sure why, you'd have to ask my Dad. I believe its a old first name from the family bible.

My girls middle names are their grandmothers middle names. Twig #1 "Jean" my Mother-in-Law's middle name. Juicyfruit "Mary" my Mom's middles name

My first name is after my Grandma (Dad's mom) ans my middle name is Amy after my Dad's sister. I wasn't thrilled with my first name during school because i had too many teachers with that name (always the oldest of them). But after school I came to understand the privilege of our family names.

Name is Stephen Michael, I've always gone by Michael as my fathers name is Stephen Francis. I guess they wanted to avoid confusion. I havn't gone by "Michael" for ages, always Mike.

All kinds of hassles now, people don't want you to go by a middle name for some reason.
