I miss the pre-COVID world. I miss being able to hug people. I miss singing in the choir. I miss eating out.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man?s best friend. Inside of a dog, it?s too dark to read.

In the Philippines, the middle name always refers to the mother's maiden name.
All given names are collectively referred to as "first names". I have two "first names". I know people with up to four "first names".

Using the mother's maiden name as a middle name is not unusual in the US, but it is not as common as it once was. A middle name here is usually a second (and occasionally third) given name.
My first name was for my paternal grandfather (he insisted). My middle name was actually for my mother's grandfather, but it also happens to be my father's name, so I always felt as if I had no name of my own.

Edward is both the first name of my dad and my maternal grandfather. My middle name is Edward after both of them. We gave my younger son the name Edward for his middle name, as well.
My older son's middle name is the same as my father-in-law's middle name and my wife's deceased half-brother's first name. that name is Troy.
I and my sons all have first names that are unique within all 4 sides of our families.

I like that. It honors someone but still allows an individual identity. I?ve come to love my first name. I?ve never cared for my middle name. Interestingly I have many dear friends with that name including one who was the best man at my wedding, another who was also in my wedding party, and Lardy! Though I still don?t like not having a name of my own, my friends who have that name help me to appreciate it on other people.

I don't remember you ever telling me before that your middle name is my first name! I guess this means your initials spell: JAM?

My mother chose my names because they were cute. No additional meanings behind them.

I always liked that her name is Juliet Capulet. It almost rhymes.

A literary device.... and often a real-world one. I have a few friends whose given names rhyme with their surnames.
