Day 1 of the Thirty Day Сhallenge: My middle name.
Well, actually I have two. I'm just extra special. Obviously.
My first middle name is Grace. If you know me, you'll understand how remarkably ironic it is. If you looked up "grace" in the dictionary, you will not see my picture. Definitely about the clumsiest person I know haha. What were my parents thinking? It looks pretty awesome in Cyrillic though: Грэйс. Hell yeah.
My second middle name is Sundstrom. It's my mother's maiden name. Thank God I didn't end up with a hyphenated last name...it'd be sixteen letters long. No thanks. Plus hyphenated names just look ridiculous...indecisive much? Also cool in Cyrillic. Maybe just because Cyrillic makes everything more awesome: Сундстром.
Having two middle names is kind of cool. Just because most people only have one. Or none. It's way less cool when forms want you to put your middle initial. Most won't accept two middle initials. DISCRIMINATION. So even though my legal name has two middle initials, I have paperwork everywhere that has just the G. At least my driver's license has both.
Another cool thing about two middle names? Literally nothing comes up when I google my full name. Yea-yuh. Though maybe that's kind of sad because I've never accomplished anything important enough for the internet...but whatevs. I'm just that underground.
Be jealous :p
Haha, I actually have TWO middle names and TWO maiden names. Beat that :-p My full name, prior to marriage? Katherine Elizabeth Ashley Myers-Galloway. So I had 2 middle names PLUS a hyphenated last name. Yeah, my Mom was a little indecisive :o When I changed my name this summer w/the SS office, I dropped it down to just the Elizabeth and then Sean's last name.
ReplyDeleteI wanted 2 middle names for Zoe but Sean vetoed it :(
Yeah, my dad had vetoed mine too. I didn't get it until 1st grade or something. I love it though :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, if my parents had hyphenated my last name? Seventeen letters D:
