middle names

KikiCohen · September 2014

Do kids even have to write them in school? I'm sick of my ILs saying that P is going to curse us when he has to learn to write his mn in school. :-@

I thought middle names were only used when the child is in trouble!!! Just kidding!

I had no idea how to spell my middle name until grade three because I never needed to. My step kids never use their middle names in school either. Tell your ils to stfu.

Dumb ILs..... No one really needs to be caring about that!

No way! First and last names is all the kids use in school.
The only time I had to use my middle name is when there was a boy in my class with the same initials and we were supposed to just use initials on a paper/craft. Even then I only needed the first letter of my middle name.

No, my kids have never had to write it for school...

Well then DS is screwed because he has two middle names. Your ILs need to mind their own business. Giving you a hard time about your child's name is so not cool.

@KMRR86‌ There's so much I'd love to tell them to STFU about..... sooooo much.

@ramy3695‌ I have told them like a thousand times that it's Leonard plus an O.

@ramy3695‌ Two l's bc he's extra lovable

Actually it's bc I think it looks unbalanced with one l.

Most they will ever have to use is middle initial on standardized tests

Fun fact. In the Philippines, you have to learn how to write your whole name in Kindergarten. And it's very common practice for your name to be First Name, Middle Name, Mother's Maiden Name, and then Last Name. And you write this on all forms and paperwork from there on.

I started 5th grade when I came to the US. Teachers were so confused as to what name I should go with since I always wrote my whole entire name as I was used to.

And....it doesn't help that Filipinos always go by a nickname, which is usually never the first or middle name. DH thinks it's the dumbest thing ever.

@chiboo9‌ I get so confused with some of our employee's names! So.many.names!

It took me forever to learn how to spell my MN. My MN makes my whole name sound like a stripper stage name. Thanks mom!

We learned to spell our whole names as soon as we learned to spell our first names. But maybe my school was weird lol

What's your mn? Candy?

KikiCohen · September 2014

@lancomechica‌ I was thinking Candy Cane (omg flashbacks to watching Joy Ride for the first time).

My old boss was Summer Rain (fn mn) just like Xtina's daughter.

My daughter's middle name is Anna & I use it a lot when I call her name. Her first name is short. It'd be like adding Anna to Julie & it sounding like one name. I was going to make it part of her first name, but didn't- figuring I could still use it. I have started teaching her it only because I want to.

As a former teacher, kids never wrote their middle names!!

@haddocky I thought your mm was hamster... If that makes you a stripper, you're into some weird ass shit

emandia · September 2014

Oh geez, that's just stupid. No, you don't ever write your middle name in school. Like ever.

opheliainwaders · September 2014

DD's middle name is Jane, which is my mom's middle name, and also one of my aunts' names. She also has my last name as a second middle name, but I figure it's up to her whether she wants to use it. It's on her birth certificate, but we don't really use it elsewhere. My middle name is my mom's last name.
