[blparent] Baby names- middle names

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Me too, but also it's because it was established this way in most of our
homes. Of course if you hear your middle name when in trouble, a
conditioning response takes place letting a child know they are in more
trouble than usual, starting that association. If a child does not have
a middle name, they never make this association. It's all just
perspective, and honestly, why give a name that will be more associated
with trouble than anything else?

Nothing against middle names, I just don't like them myself unless
having meaning and intent of some kind. I have no intention of giving
another child a middle name unless we have one with meaning, such as a
parent or grandparent name.

But a child will only make associations if they are present in their
life. Devoid of a middle name, there will be no reason to ever hear
angry or frustrated tones connected with the middle name, and therefore
not think they are in less trouble because they lack a third name when
in trouble, grin.

There's some psycho stuf for the list, smile.

Hi,

My middle name always, always had meaning, it meant I was in big big 
trouble.  grin  It's the same with my kids, they know they're in trouble

when I call them by their middle names.
