"My middle name is X"

[agnes]

I just found out our friends' gave their daughter X as her middle name.  No. Way.  I can't believe it. 

They are awesome people raising an awesome daughter, though.

Middle names are overrated. Mine is fucking stupid.

All I can think is "X marks the spot." I'm not sure whether that's a good or bad thing. Probably bad.

[TrickyBob]

But why X? Could they not think of anything?

[Jalapeñomel]

I have a guy friend who has this as a middle name.

Are her parents math teachers?

Middle names are pretty pointless anyway.

Middle names are kind of pointless, but it is probably annoying to go through life filling out forms that demand one if you don't have one, and X is kind of badass, so I respect this decision.

[snickers]

That is weird, although I agree middle names are dumb.

My dad's middle name is just one letter (not x though) and he got yelled at by teachers when he was supposed to write his full middle name.

It's a middle name so Whatever floats your boat.
She can always change it later.

This is where one should give a child a MN of N/A.

Eh, there are WAY worse names out there than X.

Now agnes, you have to share with the class. 

Is your friend's daughter's name Frances? If so, that makes sense to me.

I'm not going to type it out and make it searchable since it's so yuneeque. It's pronounce Shore (like Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore) - A (like what are you talking aboot, eh?)

No her name is not Frances lol

When I was a junior associate, I had a client whose middle name was a letter. It was really annoying because I worked on their SEC filings and I always had arguments with the partner about whether or not to put a period after the letter. People should not do this to their children! THink of their future lawyers!
