Re: Using middle name as first name
My daughters nick name is the same as someone who posts regularly on the forum. Begins with D and lives in Kent .
Because of some strange loyalty to my daughter I always read this lady's posts and enjoy them just because of her name. For similar reasons I love anyone who posts from Gloucestershire as that is where my parents live, Herts and Surrey/Sutton because they take it all to new levels of seriousness and mad? because she is.

Re: Using middle name as first name
I really like the meaning of my son's first name but all the people I know with the name are rather grown up and a few wierd and irritating TV personalities have the same name.
Impossible is Nothing.

Re: Using middle name as first name
most of the medical records have slots for the full names then the "calling name" which pops up on the appointment lists and also the message boards in surgeries and in mail merges - large number on any list will have alternate names in the "calling name" box

Awww, that's really sad. Special cyber hug (X) for you, all the way from Kent.Maybe babies should be given five names and then, when they reach a certain age (10, 16, 21?) they can choose just one?

Re: Using middle name as first name
You've got three names now! Shall we call you Pinky or Ponky?

Re: Using middle name as first name
Could always try the Harry S. Truman approach ... parents couldn't agree on the middle name (I think each half had a family name beginning with S) so his full was just Harry S. Truman... bet that would cause havoc these days.inkypinkyponky wrote:Snowdrops wrote:You're not alone Inky. I too was only ever given one name - and a very short one at that!!!

Reckon you could both just chose a middle name now ... there must be something you would like..... I liked mine so much more than my first that instead of being sensible and using it myself I gave it to my daughter!
Re: Using middle name as first name
Get your hankies out.................
As well as only having one name and it being short, when I was growing up all the nasty kids used to make fun of my name too - I got told it was a dog's name
to this day I hate it 
but I couldn't honestly think of anything different to call myself. It's who I am, what made me who I am and it's who I'll be when I die.
Just lead me to the psychiatrist's couch, I think I need a session now

Re: Using middle name as first name
Aww, Snowdrops, I don't just need a hanky, but a whole box of tissues. What a bunch of meany kids, hope they grew up to hate their names!
That's very phiso...philoss....erm, thoughtful of you about being who you were, are and will be, because of your name. But to me you will always have your beautiful name of Snowdrops.

I like to think that long ago,
There fell to Earth some flakes of snow,
Which love this cold, grey world of ours
So much, they stayed as snowdrop flowers.
