If you could choose a new middle name for yourself, what would it be?
Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. I’m not the boss of you, though. Don’t write anything for all I care! You seem to be in the middle of a very hard choice.
. . .here are my thoughts.
If you could choose a new middle name for yourself, what would it be?
Some people aren’t fans of their names, but stick with them out of respect for their parents and the countless paper cuts they suffered while flipping through Encyclopedia of Baby Names: Volumes 1-26. Always remember, your middle name certainly could have been much worse had your parents not properly navigated the persuasive onslaught of name suggestions. The unlucky among us may resort to secreting away their embarrassing middle name because–while they can’t argue against Great-Grandma Esmeralda being anything but the saint of family lore–the name should have died with G-ma Essy. But I’m perfectly content with my name: Bradley Thomas Heffron (BTH). Don’t love it. Don’t hate it. Never gave it much thought other than maybe when my parents told me I would’ve been “Kim” had I not been born with a Y-chromosome. But some people wish they were Kristina instead of Christopher, or Marcus rather than Marsha. That’s another topic altogether. Dedicated UrProbablyRight.com readers may remember the title of argument #015: Bradley (Ian) Thomas (Connor) Heffron’s Resting Grin. Give it a (re)read. Unsurprisingly, it has nothing at all to do with middle names.
This is not about names. Trying to figure out what it is. Is it about transgender.
Wasn’t meant to be, other than a reference to name changes in that regard. But my parents did tell me I’d have been Kim if I were a girl. I could have been anyway, as it’s a gender neutral(ish) name.
In case you don’t know her first name is Columbia. It’s Columbia Diane Carfolo. I don’t blame for using her first name. I’m Sue Ann. The Sue is for my Grandmother, your Great Grandmother, Assunta (Sue in English). I don’t know where the Ann came from. I wish they had left it off. I would be happy with just plain Sue like my Grandmother. It has been a pain in my side since first grade. I am called Suzanne, Sue Ann, Susie, Suzieanne, Susie homemaker, Susan, Lola and Sueanne just to name a few. I have gone to sign legal papers and I’ve refused because my name was spelled wrong. I would be thrilled to be just plain Sue. My favorite name to be called is Nana.
You had me at “Columbia” !! That’s a doozy.
I wouldn’t change my middle name which is Diane. I am like your grandpa Carfolo. Middle name wasn’t the issue, first name was.
Columbia?! How’d you not mention that gem?
Would you If that was your name.
Good point!
