Middle Name Pride Day
When is Middle Name Pride Day? This holiday is always celebrated on March 10
With all of the John Does and Jane Does in the world, how do you tell them apart from one another? Why it’s their middle name, of course! Today is Middle Name Pride Day, a March 10 holiday. This day honors the seldom-used middle name that often sets you apart from others. Our parents selected it with care, so you should be proud of it. Some people like it so much, that as adults they use their second name as their official name. A great example of this is F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Here are two big reasons to be proud of your middle name:
First, there are plenty of John Smiths and Mary Jones. It’s the second name your parents gave you that makes your name unique.
Second, your parents often selected your middle name to honor a good friend or relative. That person is likely a role model for you as you grow up. He or she may possess certain quality traits and characteristics that your parents hope you inherit.
Do you know why you were given your middle name? If not, today is the day to find out. If it was in honor of someone, find out a little more about that person.
Thought for the Day: The sole purpose of a child’s middle name is so he can tell when he is really in trouble.
