I tried to stop using my middle name about ten years ago....(when I found out where it came from) and then it bit me in the bum when I had to sign a whole lot of legal papers saying my name WAS my name.... so much hassle it wasn't funny.
I don't have a middle name. My parents started off well giving my two oldest brothers middle names, then they seem to have run out of imagination for my next oldest brother and me. The had a brief bit of inspiration when my sister was born, but were back being boring when my youger brother came along.

just around the corner from me there's a gynecologist called (translated) dr fishfat. in german his name is just a bit different, but i can't write THAT as my second post.
anyway, i do have a question about nightwatch, and the whole internet couldn't answer me this (also, i was looking for a discworld forum ):
in nightwatch, vimes calls knocker by his real first name, winsborough. "besides, he had given him his real name. the man never used it in public, for fear of the panic it might cause."
why should that name cause panic? because it's a nobby name? or am i just too not-british?
