Does anyone have middle name?

Quote from Ttom

bella, this was also my story !!! I wanted to be Andrej as my confirmation name, but theres no saint Andrej, so I have to choose Michal but that Melanie is great!!

I think you didn't quite catch it. It's about my first name. I don't like it. I waited for confirmation to have a chance to give myself my own name. But priests said that our names for confirmation will be our first names. No changes. No invective. No fantasia. So I was so pissed that I was staying Ewelina. But then I found out that there was no saint Ewelina. So I just had to choose new name and no priest couldn't deny me that. A że złośliwa ze mnie bestia... So I chose this name to finish off our priests with my fantasia which was prohibited.

Quote from Ojla

Talking about confirmation names. I chose a very dull name, but my friend, well...he smashed every competition, he chose Pankracy

He would be cursed by my priests for that Pankracy. It reminds me a cat. I don't even know why. Isn't there some cartoon about cat Pankracy?

Quote from Martee

Chinese don't have middle names, our names have 2~4 characters
btw, speaking of players' middle names, after reading details about Maggie and Polish girls, I checked out wikipedia and found these names:

Bartosz Kamil Kurek
Zbigniew Andrzej Bartman
Pawel Lech Zagumny
Marcin Rafal Mozdzonek (wow, remind me of Rafael Nadal)
....

So, is there interesting one among these guys' middle names?

btw, I'm wondering whether middle names are usually used, because I heard a story said when you call someone with his middle name, he may not realize he was called. Is that real?

I had no idea that Zibi is Andrzej

I don't pay attention when someone maliciously called me "Krysia". It's worse than "Ewelinka"

In Bulgarian, you would be call "Evche" or "Krisi"

I have to say that in Bulgarian it sounds much cooler

In Poland it is used rather rarely.

In Itlay in most cases, but not in mine XD For this rule my name should have been Elvira, but is Valeria (that have the same letters and just one more, this is a coincidence asd)

Quote from StarNight

I have got only first name aswell after 2000's years,people started to give two names to their babies and it became a very popular thing in Turkey.Now almost %80-90 of children got double names in Turkey.

Your complete name sounds very good Joana What about Fofao's name? It was something like Fofao Rogerio Helia De Souza Pinto... (I hope it doesn't go to infinite )

Fofão first name is Hélia, like it was said Fofão is a nickname, not her oficial name...It is cause of this tv program it has a long time ago, and also a doll that was called fofão..it is this..

Cause who gave her the nickname thought Fofão had big cheeks, like the Fofão from the tv program..

Fofão oficial name is Hélia Rogério de Souza Pinto (Rogério is a second name, actually commom a male name here, it is not a family name )

In France middles names are often grandpa/ma names.
That's my case. My middle name (François = Francesco/Francis/Franz/Franciszek) was the first name of my grandfather.

Because of this custom, most people don't like their middle name because it often sounds old. Yet François is OK, it's traditional but not old fashioned. And since I have an uncommon first name (Armel is quite rare) it's getting well with it.

Armel is so cool name. I didn't know your nickname is your proper name. Awesome. And Francois isn't so bad as well. I like this name, actually, also polish version Franciszek. Franciszek is rather rare in my country. Lately I met a baby boy who called Franciszek and at first moment it was strange for me calling small boy Franciszek but then I used to it and I started to like this name. I like originality.

I don't have middle name too

In Argentina almost everyone has one. Mine's Gabriel.
