LOL Sueleen! No, it's not a Gilbert & Sullivan song. But it certainly reads like one.

I too, have the most boring middle name on the planet: Marie. Both my dad's sisters' (I have 4 aunts on my mom's side) middle names are Marie and it's my grandmother's first name. Well, somehow, my parent's thought it was a good idea for it to be my middle name so there it is.

My godmother from Confirmation... her middle name is Teresa, after St Therese the Little Flower. For my confirmation name, I took her middle name, as well as her patron saint.

My middle name -- Marie -- isn't the most generic thing about my name as a whole. It's my last name: Smith. Doesn't get more generic than that. 2 years ago I petitioned to have my last name legally changed so it's hyphenated with my mom's maiden name first. Makes my name a little more ethnic and a little less generic. It's not so forgettable now. lol

My teacher's middle name is Nevermind.

My middle name is Margurite after my maternal grandmother. I don't have a confirmation name because when it was time for me to receive mine, my church decided to do away with them. losers

Yeah, but confirmation names aren't usually used for anything. most of my relatives don't even remember theirs. I tried to pick an interesting one--Victoria, after the saint who refused to marry a man her father wanted her to and decided to live in poverty instead--but I only remember it because I was only confirmed about 5 years ago. I kind of like it, though. Maybe I'll adopt it as my regular middle name someday.

I was confirmed 10 years ago.... I didn't want some generic name I wouldn't remember when I was 60. I wanted a name that meant something to me. I picked my Godmother's middle name because I felt very strongly connected to that saint and she (my godmother) has been a very influential part of my life. She is largely to thank for the woman I am today.

Professionally, I dropped Marie from my full name.

I was confirmed in 7th grade.

I remember that we had to memorize about 100 questions and answers pulled from the Baltimore Catechism and printed on a special card. Then they designated a day when the entire class would be "quizzed." One-by-one we were called into the principal's office where the pastor sat behind a big desk and selected questions to ask each of us.

Someone would leave the classroom and be back in like 5 minutes...except ME. Why? Because when the priest asked me if I had any questions, I said, "Yes. Why can't there be 'altar girls'?"

He droned on and on, giving me some long, drawn-out bull**** answer. When I finally went back to my classroom, everybody was freaked out. "WHAT HAPPENED??? COULDN'T YOU ANSWER HIS QUESTIONS? DID YOU GET IN TROUBLE?" My classmates thought I was being punished for not having answers when, in reality, I was being "punished" for having questions!

Please excuse MY droning.

Christ, that means by confirmation was twenty years ago.

I've never used my confirmation name as part of my name. And I think I had to give it back when I was excommunicated.

I have 2 middle names! One is Elizabeth, just like everyone else in the world (or so it seems). Good thing my first name is Skyler. My second middle name is my mother's maiden name, Sherrill. My brother is the same way. He's Caleb Nicholas Sherrill...
