9 people who know the pain of having no middle name
ACCORDING TO A recent study middle names are really quite beneficial and can help you to be more successful.
What about the people who don’t have middle names, eh? What about those poor sods?
People like these…
1. People who work in the Irish civil service
If you don’t have a middle name they put an X in your email addresses.
Sounds vaguely pornstar-ish/top spy-esque.
2. People who’ve tried to pass their confirmation name off as their middle name
As soon as they reach the blessed age they start inserting ‘A’ for Assumpta or ‘B’ for Brendan any chance they get.
3. People who’ve been thwarted by Internet forms
We’ve all come up against the ones that insist on you having a post code, but what about the ones that insist on a middle initial?
4. The person who made this picture
5. People who have to make up a middle name
They usually go with ‘danger’ or ‘f**king’.
Whoops!

Joanne Rowling wanted to write under her initials, and having been given no middle name at birth she chose ‘K’ after her grandmother Katherine.
North West
Kim and Kanye’s baby is stuck with it.
Abraham Lincoln
Well, he made it to president without a middle name, so it can’t be that bad.
7. People whose names are being read out at an official ceremony
Whoops!

8. This guy (who tried to make some money off it)
9. Me
Emer McLysaght. None of your fancy stuff here.
