Is it normal i hate those cop-out middle names?

Hipster senses tingling.

My Mom actually named us with the meaning of our names in mind.
My name means Christian Princess, my sister's name means Reborn Hero. My brother's is Aztec for the boy of fire and water. Her name means resurrection, which is pretty appropriate for her. Mine? Not so much.

I feel that a parent's name for their child is a blessing for their child. Ethan means one that is strong, and naming your son Ethan is a blessing that they will be strong individuals... Alexander means the defender, naming your son Alexander is a blessing that he will be a noble man with a heart for those in need. A name like Ethan Alexander? You get where I'm going with this.

So yeah, I see what you mean. You are given the opportunity to bless your child, and you should take it. Maybe this culture does not value such blessings, but that's just my opinion.

I gave my daughter Noelle as a middle name, because she was conceived on Christmas.

If I ever had a son, I'm considering McLovin. That's it, just McLovin. No first name, no middle name and no last name. Just McLovin. Interpret is as you will.

If I have a son I will middle name him Danger.

If I had a weird middle name it would just be an inconvenience. I'd never use it and would feel stupid writing in on documents. If you don't like your name, change it legally. But I don't see why you'd encourage parents to scar a kid with an unusual name.

Parents might want to be different and individual, but most kids just want to fit in and having an unusual name doesn't help that. Maybe I'm just bitter because I have a very unfortunate surname :P

My middle name is Rose, and I hate it, too. Mainly because I have a cousin with that name and people think I'll become easy like her. I think common middle names (especially Marie and Lynn) are so tacky, annoying, and at least do something like Olivia Claire, or Kara Jae (which I want to name my daughters if I have any), or something pretty, like that.

my middle name is Fukedyur and my last name is Mother

My middle name is certainly not normal, Ignatius. But thankfully the rest of my name is.

Buford Ignatius Blascock.

Well both of my parents are european but i was born in america so my first name is old fashioned plain jane american as apple pie but my middle name is a mouthful that gets shortend to mackenzie/twyla/ and of course lula :)

My middle name is fucking awesome.

Mine is Nicole. Lol. & I know of at least 15 girls with the same middle name as me. But I like it, and it suits me, soo.. :P

Jesus Christ I didn't think someone would be so bothered by people's middle names. No one really cares what your middle name is unless you use it instead of your first name.

my middle name is James so it depends what the name is.

Why do you care what other people call their kids?

maybe they're names they didnt want to use as 1st names coz theyre boring but they are the names of family members so wanted to include them somehow?

My middle name is Ann. But my grandmother's name was Ann, my great-grandmother's name was Ann, and my mother's middle name was Ann. There are many Anns on my mother's side of the family. But even so, I guess that means it's a cop-out middle name, right? :/

My brother's middle name is Scott, but that's also our dad's name- it's a simple name, so does that mean it's a cop out?

I would much rather have my middle name be something simple like Ann- my paternal grandmother's name was Jacqueline. I don't think I would have like my middle name something so long.

I'm confused over why names like John, Rose, Grace, Lee, etc are "cop out" names for middle names, but they aren't "cop out" names for first names? Why is that? Is it because something like "John" or "David" or "Renee" aren't creative enough for middle names? Why can't the same be said for first names? Does that mean it's better to have a creative middle name than a creative first name? This confuses me.

"Waitforit"... best middle name ever.

My first and middle name were taken from the bible.

My middle name originated from my Grandma Jo, and I embrace it.

I got Thomas as my middle :/ I feel your pain! Its normal, I would have loved to have my middle name be something medieval or creative.

"A cop out is not an excuse, not even a weak one; it is an admission of guilt. When someone "cops a plea," he admits guilt to some charge, in exchange for better treatment. He has "copped out." When a guy says, "I didn’t get to fuck her because I reminded her of her little brother," he is making an excuse. If he says, "I didn’t get to fuck her because I’m an unattractive schmuck," he is copping out. The trouble arises when an excuse contains a small amount of self-incriminating truth." - George Carlin

My middle name is Lynn, same as my mom. I don't have a problem with common names, as long as the whole name sounds fine. I think Angela Lynn is an okay name.

My friend's middle name is Ranae, common name but I like the different spelling.

If it sounds good with the entire name it's cool. I never really thought about this though. My parents named my middle name Audrey after Audrey Hepburn and my first name after another famous woman. xD When people haven't seen me and someone tells them my name they think I'm black. lol

Will you people stop complaining?? I don't even have a middle name and would be more than happy to have Lee between my first and last. :(

I took the opportunity to give my daughter a great middle name. (I think) Her whole name together is quite pretty :) I'm sure some other people have it, but none that I know

My middle name is "Tonia"
I hate it -.-

my middle name is my grandmothers name. i know a guy who uses his middle name instead of his first name because he didnt like his first name. i dont see what the big deal is unless you name your kid Petal Flower, Sun Wind etc. i would prefer a "boring" or "cop out" name than something so freaking stupid that will get me bullied in school. if someone doesnt like their name then they can always change it too.

I was given an American middle name despite not being American. I hated it at first but now I'm quite pleased with it. It's the only part of my name that is in any way fashionable.

Me: I HATE how every single girl has Marie or Rose as their middle name! >:(

2 Friends: Hey, that's not true. :p

Both friends' middle names are Marie and Rose.

Mine is Stephen after my great grand father!

Well i have two, robert and micheal

But both have some meaning

#1 Robert is after my dad's childhood friend robbie that that died before i was born

#2 micheal for whatever reason, have been in my fsmilies middle names for a long time so i got it too

Thankfully, mine's not on your list. I wouldn't say it's a cop out, but it's rather old-fashioned and NO ONE should have it as a first name.
