First

The daily writing prompt is asking – Write about your first name, its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.

I think I did this before, but I’m not even interested in looking that post up. Or looking up again what etymology means again.

My first name is Mike. Some other first names I’m called by friends, Mikey, Doctor, The Judge, Dirty and Admiral. And no, I’m not explaining any of them.

I’m also Dad and Papa to my children and grandchildren.

I’m sure in some of my less than stellar moments in life some co-workers or even my better half have had some choice names for me, but I didn’t hear them so we’re good.

Middle Names

What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance? – So asks the daily writing prompt this fine Saturday.

My middle name is Alan. Any significance wasn’t explained to me from family. I like it. It’s short. Most of the time it’s just A.

Now that I think back about the name, there is only one person I remember using it. And that was my mother and I was usually in trouble. When I heard Michael Alan, I knew I screwed up. Boy do I miss hearing that.

I was too young here to have messed up so she was probably just whispering Michael in my ear.
