Here are two big reasons to be proud of your middle name:

First, there are plenty of John Smiths and and Mary Jones. It’s the middle name your parents gave you that makes your name unique.

Second , your parents chose your middle name with great care. It often was selected to honor a friend or relative. That person may have possessed certain characteristics that they want you to inherit.

You could ask people for middle names that might be used in songs; there are lots of songs that use names…one of them must be someone’s middle name!
