Typically this is one of those areas I get vetoed on, since my taste in names comes across to some people as a bit non-traditional. Still, I'm hoping that I can at least have one of my picks for the middle name.
With that in mind, today's Top Ten Thursday category is my short list for middle names.
Let me know what you think in the comments. And let me know if you have a better middle name option.Top Ten Favorite Middle Names
10) Amadeus -- If it's good enough for Mozart, it's good enough for me.
9) Cochise -- We are native American after all.
8) Ninja -- Unfortunately, this one is already taken by one of the cutest kids in the city.
7) Stringfellow -- A real high-flying name.
6) 7 -- Thank you George Costanza.
5) Tiberius -- An oldie but a goodie (and a Trekie).
4) Mojo -- We already have the black cat bone.
3) Starbuck -- A great literary character, a great TV character and a great cup of burnt coffee.

Well, my middle name is Margaleen. So all of those look good to me in comparison. One thing about a middle name, you never have to use it. You can simply use the initial.
ReplyDeleteI did that a lot, growing up.
Mine is "Samuilovich" - highly recommended
ReplyDeleteFor generations in my family we have used last names of family members.
ReplyDeleteMy middle name is my mother's maiden name.
My older brother middle name is my fathers mother (my grand-mothers) maiden name.
My Sisters is my mothers mothers (my grand-mother) last name.
Younger brothers is my Great grand fathers last name.
They all make very interesting conversation pieces.
The D,
ReplyDeleteYour mother's maiden name is "Awesome"?
Tiberius?
ReplyDeleteI don't believe you remember your history; things didn't turn out so well for that worthy.
No sense jinxing the little tyke right out of the womb...
Doc, with all due respect I think it is you who is confused. As I recall, Capt. James TIBERIUS Kirk had a long, distinguished career in Starfleet before retiring to Boston to begin a second career as a top tier lawyer.
ReplyDeleteI'd go with Gatsby. That's freaking HAWESOME.
ReplyDeleteNo way! My husband wants our first born son's name to be Wolfgang Amadeus __insert our last name___. What's with that? We've tentatively compromised with the middle name of Sebastian (after Bach).
ReplyDeleteI think you should call it "[first name] son/daughter of a jackass [last name]". Unless, of course, I am the jackass that missed the post about the SMW being pregnant. In which case, I will instead suggest "The Hulk".
ReplyDeletecrap, emaw; I'm sorry!
ReplyDeletei forgot you're one of those people...
No middle name, just an initial "X".. it will amaze some folks and scare the hell out of the rest.
