[benflick]

Mine is Keith, after my grandfather.

 

[themoonisdown09]

My middle name is Daniel, after my father's first name.

I'm Interested to see what more 'provocative' questions show up, so this is now my first 'subscribed' thread.

Thanks for the interest and the participation. Each week the new question will be posted in a new community thread. That way the old thread can continue without interruption for those that may not discover it until later. Don't forget to PM me if you have any ideas of "provocative" questions you think would be fun and interesting.

Mine is George, it's my fathers name, his fathers middle name, and his fathers name... it goes on for a bit more to and it ties to my paternal grandmother as well. No plans to name my kid George, but it might do as a middle name again.

[Reventon]

My middle name is Joshua. There is no real significance to the name.

 

[BlackSnow]

Helen, my Grandmother's name.

 

[Cynicalone]

Roy. Which is my Grandfather's middle name. They also picked my name (Jarod) so I would have the same initials as my Grandfather, JRW.

 

[11800506]

Mine is Emmett, which was my great-grandfather's name. My dad wanted to name me Emmett Christopher (which is the name of another great-grandfather), while my mom wanted to name me Christopher Emmett and my mom won the argument partially because she wanted me to have a more normal and known name, so as not to get constantly asked about it my whole life.

 

[MacVixen]

Anne. No significance except that my first name is named after my grandmother and father, so I think my mom just went with the popular middle name as her contribution
