    I hope you can guess my middle name! I rarely use it as there is so little use for it nowadays - if you don't know who David Wulff is you won't know who David James Wulff is. One benefit though (and this is something I really must bite the bullet and try out some time) is that it might get me in to pay-at-the-door clubs free of charge with a bunch of friends as "my carriers". At any rate it may help me jump queues. I am of course referring to DJ Wulff here. :laugh: I found it very amusing when I heard my dad answer the door to a courier who asked... can you guess?... "is DJ Wolf in da house". He was mid-twenty-something so I let him off. I like your name - it makes you sound like a Duke. It would sound even cooler if you got yourself knighted...!

      As you can see, I use my middle name - in fact, I use it whenever I can. When I was a boy I used to HATE it - I though "Edward" was such a poncey moniker. Now I like it and I think my mum and dad are secretly chuffed (my mum works at the same company as me and loves me using it whenever). So, what's yer middle name? Does anyone have a really embarassing middle name? Get this - a kid I went to school with had a football-mad dad who gave him "George Best" as a middle name. ha ha ha. I have also read that some poor soul has the surname of the entire English 1966 World Cup squad as a middle name (arf, arf). As you also probably tell, a morning of writing documentation is catching up with me, and only CP can save me from going stiff with boredom (ooer missus). What is it with us developers and writing end-user docs?? :(:(:(

                Ok, this is going to reveal a bit of my country/southern upbringing, but it's "Lee". Say my first and middle names together to see what I mean by country/southern. :) I really don't use it even though I know there's at least one other Jeremy Falcon in Louisiana (we had the same insurance company at one point).

                        I think some parents decide that a middle name is their chance to get a bit more creative (whereas some will give horrific first names to their children instead, which is just inexcusable!) My middle name's Alan. (Which was my Grandfather's middle name). Actually my first name was my Father's middle name. If you're really bothered, you should be able to find out my first and last names via my homepage (heh, any excuse to plug it, eh?) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Good call. General Custard Lee (I believe) - he reigned during the civil war. I'm not named after him though. My mother is really religious and she tells she got my name from God. All I want to know is what she was smoking when that happened. :rolleyes: Jeremy Falcon Imputek "Life is too precious - don't waste it." - Norm Almond "And remember, what some call cynical, others call experienced." - Christopher Duncan

Well if your mother was serious then you are probably named after Witness Lee[^], a Chinese bondslave of Jesus Christ (no I am not making this up, check the website out, hectic stuff.) Someone must have been smoking something fierce however :rolleyes: Both my names are rather Christian and religious (Paul and Michael) though neither of my parents are very religious. My uncle (who my middle name is after, Michael) though is a Canon in the Church, but far from a disciple of Christ (or even a good Christian come to think it :-D) * Google is awesome. Type in "Bible Lee" and you get tons of links. Maybe Google told your mother, not God. :rolleyes: regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa

                                        To explain Donald Knuth's relevance to computing is like explaining Paul's relevance to the Catholic Church. He isn't God, he isn't the Son of God, but he was sent by God to explain God to the masses.
