Christian Dylan Losinger middle name after Dylan Thomas, the poet -c
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.

Edward Timothy Smith. I use my middle name. "Ed" sucks. :) Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it...

"Ed" as in the talking horse. A bad US TV show in the 60s. Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it...

Exactly. "Edward" is majestic. "Ed" makes me want to vomit. Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it...

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?? :(:(:(

I wonder how my life would have turned out had I gone with my middle name instead of my first: Matthew Blade Philmon

Jon "Hideo" Sagara It's Japanese. It was my grandfather's first name. My dad's middle name is also his grandfather's first name. Don't know how far back it went, though. Jon Sagara "Hello, operator?

"Like it or not, I'm right!"Yes, my middle name is my father's name. I've always wondered about my first name though, I was born about a year after the first moon landing. I should ask my parents about that. Neil Van Eps "When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour.
