Turok; I wonder how many really did it, finally. Hey, do most of you have second names? And is it chosen by the parents or... ? Here (on the papers, at least) they give us as second name the name of our godmother/godfather. But we quite never use it.

Well, around here your first and middle name is given to you by your parents. They can name you whatever they want. Some use family names whether it be first or last names. Some use the name of friends or just a name that they have heard and like. Right now it seems to be the thing to give your child a name that use to be thought of only as a last name. Oh, and both of mine, first and middle were just something that my parents wanted to name me. Shan

Mind the Navy Blue here ;D I like it Gala, also not biased against the army, My son got back from his second tour of Iraq safe and sound..He is in the Army..I'm proud of all of you...

@ Glance -> knowing how gentle Al is, him beating u can't hurt at all. ;D so please Sir Bernard Dieter A-Lot, be gentle! ;D
as some of u know by now, my name is brandon (just like BJC). found out that it's celtic in origin (the root is brent or brontwen, meaning white-breasted, IIRC). i don't find it's funny that my chest isn't white at all as my name suggested. ........ ;D
as for second name, since i'm catholic by birth, i have my second name when i went for confirmation. it's John (not as in Doe but John, one of the apostles who wrote one of the four gospels). not that inspiring, huh? ;D

My middle name is Cécile, I wonder what got into my parents mind to give me that name. It absolutely doesn't go with my first name and my last name, since they are Russian so...

My middle name is after my father. My father's middle name is after his father. Don't know about my grandfather's name, though.

Not many of you know it, but Hass really isn't my last name....I just use it because it's pretty embarrasing to use my full name... Imagine this.. Hello, my name is Peter Hass-Been .. Aw, nah - that's an old joke. I have no middle name ;D

Jang, Peter does a good enough job making a joke out of himself. He doesn't exactly need the help from us. ;D

Looks like Jags will never know your real name then Gal. He doesn't know how to behave. Where there's trouble you'll find Jags right there in the middle of it. ;D Shan

Why, isn't Galadriel a russian name ? Not quite Alrik, my friend, I've picked it up at Rivellon while I was going to the west, I didn't linger but when someone heard my middlename, they felt for me and decided to name me Galadriel ;D@ Shan You're maybe right, but we can't talk bad about a person when he is not even here to defend himself, can we? Oh what the heck, Janggut is prolly busy drinking lots of sake, I don't think he would mind at all ;D
