Arghhhhh!!!

The company secretary at my work just gave me a letter, and it has my full name on it - I HATE my middle name and never use it (been trying to phase it out), but there it is staring me in the face. My fiance did'nt find out what it was till we'd been going out for over a year!. Now half the people at my work know what it is and their giving me serious grief!

I'll tell you guys what it is but you gotta tell me yours first - I'm searching for a worse middle name than mine first.

Mine's Scot, now you've got to tell us. Here are some other bad ones; Cole, Gibbons, Port, Ladly, Broc... (and those are actually middle names of people in my school)

Hehe, yeah - I haven't heard anything close to the torture of mine .

Ok, new deal - I'll tell you guys my middle name, but you can't laugh at me unless you tell us your name too.

My full name is...

Andrew Heathcliff Vanbeck. :-s

People have been singing that stupid cartoon cat song to me all morning. The worst thing is that my new nickname at work is Cliff (at least the one they say to my face) - so I've been getting renditions of Cliff Richard songs too.

My middle name is Philip, however om the Flight Academy people tend to affectionately call me Pheebs.

Maybe I should clarify this a bit more: Not that I have long blond hair and walking and talking neurotic all the time... ah well... maybe I am, but I refuse to believe that is the reason for people to call me like that!
Anyway, on my nametag my initials are spelled R. Ph.
So people asked what Ph. stands for (it's very seldomly seen in Holland) and my flightbuddy told him it was Phoebe, or Pheebs for friends...
<giggle...> <...laugh...><...pointing...> followed...
From there on I was Pheebs.

My middle name is Charles, a bit old fashioned but not too bad.

I must admit Van B's middle name has given me a Kate Bush moment, I've been singing Wuthering Heights ever since. I think I'd better put some Coldplay on the CD to get me over it.

It's never as easy as it looks!

That's not so bad, I know a few guy that have super girly middle names. I would tell you some but last time I spoke of them I suffered a massive head injury and forgot them.

My middle intials is "J" for john ....... I've noticed a lot of people's middle name begins with a J. Maybe it's because it's close to the middle of the alphabet ??

As for Heathcliff >> hehe !! reminds me of withering heights ( or was it wathering/wothering... something like that ? ) LOL

In Sweden it's quite common to have your middle name as your primary name (the one you are called by). For example my full name would be "Per Andreas Mattsson". Per is also my dad's first name and I have never been called by it.

BTW, is Andreas a strange enough middle name for you to reveal yours? (Perhaps it doesn't count with names from non-English language countries, especially when they are called by their middle names after all?)

Andreas its how alot of girls i know do it... i mean one of my best friends is called Tiffiny Helen - but she prefers to be called Helen, god knows why.
My mom is the same about her name. Has always seemed weird to me - but then i prefer my given name to most of my other names

family on my moms side calls me Robert (even though mom wanted me to be called James),family on my dads side calls me Rai (not pronouced how you'd think), friends and workmates call me Raven

hey speed ... he was a weird short-arse of a magician, but that women he got as his wife - jebus ... surely he MUST be loaded, i mean he looks almost dead and she looks (or looked) like she was barely outta school.

other Jan Hendrik, they must have been stuck for middle names hehe.

ahh oki ... well then thats not so weird.
yeah i have 2 legal names - and its best not to ask why cause its confusing enough knowing i have them let alone why.
and yeah my profile is wrong with my age, its what i set it to originally by accident and i've not got around to change it... not out by much so never figured it would matter much.

lmao actually technically i'm not from Abbots Langley, Herts because technically there is no such village as Abbots Langley, its counted as Kings Langley (thought i'm still not sure why, as it is now almost big enough to be a small town). But then again not that it matter much cause i barely could be counted as living there anymore, and its improbably to actually be from there as there is no hospital there ... that would be IF i had been born in the UK to be from there hehee (^_^)

Abbots Langley School is the one off Love Lane isn't it? or is it that Catholic one near Hazelwood?
i never did get used to all the schools in the area, seemed weird to me for such a small place we had like 5 schools.

used to goto Hillside School, although they changed the name cause there was another school called Hillside and they kept getting all of our equippment by accident lol - so they changed the name to Tanners Wood, seemed more sensible as it was actually situated right behind Tanners Wood lol
