Random fact about myself: I don't have a middle name. My brothers and sisters all do. But me, no.
I'm not really sure why, maybe my Mum thought that my first name, Alexandra was long enough..
I once asked my sister (who's ten years younger than me) what she thought my middle name was.. she replied with, 'Andra'. Haha, it still makes me laugh! But who can blame her.. I'm only ever known as 'Alex', apart from at the Doctors, where I get the 'Alexandra Gladwin' call when the Docs are ready to see me.
So that's me, no middle name Alex.
I think because I don't have one, middles names seem to interest me. My first name, Alexandra, was my real 'dad's suggestion; he had named his 2 previous daughters (my other sisters) after Queens (Anne and Victoria) and so I got Alexandra.. Which I am happy with, I like Alex and I think it suits me so much better than my Mum's suggestion of.. 'Hazel'.
We gave Ethan the middle name, 'Adam', after my Husbands name.
Why? Well, simply because I adore my Husband and I also adore my Son, so my thinking was why would I not combine the names of my 2 favorite people?! Simple really. Adam agreed, as I think for him it was a much better option than my previous suggestion of 'Adam Junior'.
It was Adam who suggested 'Ethan' and at first I wasn't sure, but actually I now adore it and think it's the best name in the world, but I would, wouldn't I?! I also like the fact that we don't know any other Ethan's.
So, I'm interested to know -- Do you have a middle name and if so, why did your parents choose it for you? Also is there a story behind your first name? Or your childs?
