Re: It's not the worst thing you could do...

Personally I don't care about my middle name, and it really wouldn't bother me. My older brother is David Hawley, after a family name, and if I'd been named Hannah Hawley that'd be cool with me (especially since I like the alliteration there). Middle names almost never come up anyway. My brothers don't even know what mine actually is, and I sometimes forget theirs.

I'm the opposite, my brothers and I have the same middle name, and it bugs the hell out of me. I really wish my parents had put thought into my middle name, it would have been honoring no matter what, but I would have liked it to be something other than my mother's maiden name. This is mostly because I dislike my first name, but my middle name is about as unusable as you can get.
