Middle Names

[donsdaft]

I always felt a certain relief that I had a second surname as my middle name.
Cruickshank

Saved me from having “Arthur” or something like Neeps.

I think women have the short end of the stick here and end up named after some obscure maiden aunt.

Mrs Donsdaft has always bemoaned the lack of a middle name.
Until I pointed out that her granny’s name was Willamena that is.

So, any belters out there, it’s confession time.

I am privileged to be named after my two grandfathers. “Granda Granda Vintage” gets strange looks when I’m asked for my full name by the Vagrancy Patrol when I’ve dozed off in a puddle of my ain pish on Mugiemoss Road.

It’s “James” really, after my crofting granda who was a great pal. My other granda’s name is my first name. He came back from five years in Stalag XXA in 1945, radicalised by the experience and was a fiery trade unionist in the railway industry. Ma said that he became a huge Elvis fan when he heard him on the wireless around ‘56. He died in August 1960, aged 58, and I’m happy to say that I can remember him.

Ohno and Jormungand will confirm that the co-owner’s family are freaks (including Ohno) in that THEY ARE ALL KNOWN BY THEIR MIDDLE NAMES. Witchcraft afoot, I think.

Not that unusual ( a choochter / fisher thing)

The amount of times I end up looking for some wifies (it's usually wifies) medical records and can't find them because she said her name was Joan when it actually was Evelyn or something.

“They call her Natasha when she looks like Elsie”.

I’m also known by my middle name but won’t divulge on account of the millions of spyware and computer plagues running on this site. Just by coincidence though, my initials are AFC and born under the star sign of the sheep
