If you are in the process of deciding a middle name for your child...

Guy Gardener · March 22 2013, 01:02 AM

May I make a few suggestions?

"Danger"

"Surprise"

"Adventure"

(and...)

"Procrastination"

...

(And best of all, they seem to mostly be unisex names.)

How about no middle name at all?

teacake · March 22 2013, 01:05 AM

I like "The". Really classes up your surname.

Kestrel · March 22 2013, 01:05 AM

"Asskicker." Or "Lil' Asskicker" if you don't mind two middle names.

But the eventual spoonerism that's going to slip out, from the word-salad people is "kill Asslicker" which is just poor parenting in my opinion, painting a target on your kids forehead like that.

A middle name is needed so the child will know when he/she is REALLY in trouble.

"JOHNNY!"
(Oh, it's just Mom; I'll ignore her)

JOHNNY SMITH!
(Just a minute!)

JOHN ALOYSIUS SMITH!
(Shit! I'm in trouble!)

I've been thinking that the perfect middle name for the modern day would be Dot.
But spelled "."

Guy Gardener · March 22 2013, 04:56 AM

In the English speaking world, can you decide to spell your child's name with a different language's alphabet, a made up language's alphabet or even a code?

For example: .--- --- .... -. .- .-.. --- -.-- ... .. ..- ... ... -- .. - ....

Or "blackslash" and everyone will think his name is John/Smith.

I actually met a child named "Christopher Danger ____." Seriously. His father wanted his boy to be able to say "'Danger' is my middle name." Uh huh.

What about "Stormageddon"?

auntiehill · March 22 2013, 05:47 AM

^That's what I call my 4 year old niece.

Good point. Just Asskicker then.

SO true!

Although my mom didn't stop there - I also got to hear my father's, grandfather's and great-grandfather's names tacked on all in a long shout when it got really bad.

Shithead!

Just kidding XD

Kestra · March 22 2013, 08:37 AM

I didn't have a middle name growing up and once I change my name back, I won't have a middle name again. My parents definitely found ways to let me know when I was in trouble! Which was always.

An old hippy friend named his son Luke. His last name is Walker.

Yup, his middle name is Sky...
