I am sandwiched between an Alison and an Ian. Not that my name is trendy, but still. Vastly unfair. Of course, they got the crap initials. Ali's are CLAM (Cindy Lee Alison McLastname), and Ian's are IBM (Ian Bruce McLastname).
I would have expected their names to be somewhat more exotic or whatnot, but at least you're not sandwiched between Tammy and Biff.
Me, I'm PMM (well, socially, I suppose I'd be PMMM). Which means I never dated any Smiths or Smythes.
Really? You'd never know it. *ducks*
My sister's planned middle name was changed when she was born big and pink and roly poly and it suddenly occured how unkind it would be to saddle her with the initials HAM. She got HEM instead.
Heh. Do you call her HAM, sometimes?
I'm PEA. Evie is ECT, also E. Claire, as DX pointed out after we named her. (I think Evelyn is a wonderful name, Jessica, obviously.) (Also, Evie's last name is different from mine, for those of you who are thinking "Evelyn flea'slastname" sounds horrible, which it does.)
My current favorites for The Next Kid are Flora or Louisa, or Paul. (mr. flea doesn't know this yet though.)
My kids are WAP and EEP, and they can just deal.

My grandmother's name was Wavie T. No middle name, the T didn't stand for anything. Nobody called her Wavie. She was Wavie T. Her father just liked the sound of it.
My grandfather's name was Epaphroditas, named after his grandfather. The doctor who did the delivery couldn't spell it, and so all that's on his birth certificate is E.P. Which is what he was called, except for the people who inexplicably called him Pete.
I love names!
WAP and EEP
Sounds like cause and effect.
Go Flora!
Lillian is LEEM.
There was some talk of naming her Lillian Isobel Aileen, just so she could be LIAM, but I was overruled.
Ooh, names. My current favorite name is Violet.
Not sure what we'd name another girl, since our second choice for Annabel was Eleanor, and I think AnnabEL and ELeanor would sound silly and singsong as sister names. I like Harriet, but I'm afraid it might sound too frumpy alongside Annabel.
Sounds like cause and effect.
Yeah, but EEP came first.

I'd like to submit my entry. I'm descended from Brizella and Elkanah and Herschel and Hyman and Lascelles and Phelon and Wendel and Zephie. I'm related to Nonaine and Shanga and Bonica and Gilette and Disdale and Hughgine and Kadeed and Kermit and Kiesha and Wentworth and Leston and Naisha and Querida and Shamari and Sheree and others.
I think I have a shot at second place, and I'm willing to submit middle names to back that up.
