I have no middle name. I''m just Goldfish Mylastname. Which is fine, but I always kind of wanted a middle name. Somehow my friends from school always seemed more glamorous than I did, with their long, pretty names. It''s funny what kind of impressions you can form as a young child, and how long those impressions stick with you, isn''t it?
Now that I''m married, we''re both going to change our last names to Mylastname-Hislastname. I''m so excited that he''s changing as well! We were going to bed last night, and he mentioned to me that he could "give" me a middle name as well, meaning that when I change my last name I could also add a middle name, something that he would choose (subject to my approval, of course). Most people would never know about it, because middle names hardly come up anyway. I''m kind of excited about the idea, because I''ve always wished my parents would have given me a middle name. But on the other hand, I''m a little shy about doing it, because I''m worried it''s too...odd, or pretentious in some way. And even if I don''t do it, I still think it was really sweet of him to have the idea, just because he knows how much I wanted a middle name when I was a kid.
What do you think?
