Some people are retarded. This reminds me of an idiot stockbroker that my family does business with. He can never get it in his stupid little head that I hate my first name and that I don't ever want to be called by it. Once in the 1990's he came by my dad's company where I work and he called me by both of my given names and I had to tell him to stop calling me the first name because I hate it. All this did was start an argument about what I want to be called and it made me mad. I don't give a rat's ass if he likes my first name because I don't like it and I should be the one who decides what I get called. I want to be called Elaine because that is the name that my parents have called me since the day that I was born and it is disrespectful to call me another name. To make matters worse this idiot has known me since 1983 and you would think that he would have already known my preferred name. I need to learn what his middle name is so that I can toss his nickname for his first name (as well as his first name) into the trash, call him by his middle name and mispronounce his last name just to see how much the jerk hates it. if he doesn't like this, then I'll stop being rude to him if he will stop being rude to me.

Today I got an email from someone who I've done business with as "Carol" - however, apparently when she looked at my name on her list, she didn't realize who it was. So the email began with "Dear Mary." I'm sure when I die, I'll be listed as "Mary" instead of "Carol." It never ends.

A man named Michael Alan King becomes a father and names his son Phillip Michael King. The son is called Phillip and this avoids confusion both inside and outside of their home. Now the kid writes his name as Phillip Michael King or Phillip M. King on all of his legal documents and everyone assumes that he is called Phillip. He won't have any problem with his name the way that we have had problems. People can also name their daughters after their mothers with the same technique that I just mentioned. Family given names go into the middle name spot and you always call the kid by their first name. More people should name their children this way and start refusing to call the child by the middle name. Here is a suggestion on how to name your child.

Here they are. An entire class of fifth graders lied to the subsitute teacher about me using the first name when I never use it. Three teachers in high school screwed my name constantly. One of them did this for about ten minutes while the second idiot did this for six weeks. The third teacher did it for the whole school year. I had a college professor ask me if I didn't know which name I preferred to use and this implied that he thought I was stupid. I have had idiots give me dirty looks when I explained that I don't use my first name. One idiot in a job interview talked to me like he wanted to slap my face and then he denied me employment. One jerk who worked in a store asked me if the reason why my parents call me by the middle name instead of the first name is because of the possibility that my parents didn't want me. The jerk asked me this when I was a customer at the store. I have had too many people screw up the order of my name when I just told the correct way to write it. One idiot lied to me when he said that both given names were in the computer at the car rental company but then I learned that the middle name wasn't put in there. Other people have treated me as if I was being dishonest for using the middle name instead of the first name. How am I being dishonest by using the middle name that my parents have forced me to use since my birth and my middle name is on my birth certificate?

I have several cousins who are known by their middle names and one who is known by a name that doesn't even appear on his birth certificate - middle or otherwise. The following celebrities are amongst many known by their middle names and with the exception of Robert Redford, since childhood: Robert Redford (Charles Robert Redford) Rihanna (Robyn Rihanna Fenty) Justin Hayward (David Justin Hayward) Paul McCartney (James Paul McCartney) Virginia Wade (Sarah Virginia Wade) Dermot O’Leary (Sean Dermot Fintan O’Leary Jr) Gordon Brown (James Gordon Brown) Sir Trevor McDonald, like my cousin, is known by a name that isn't even on his birth certificate.

My wife decided a separation would be good and then after she was moved out for arounds two weeks, she moved back in. A couple of days ago, my wife decided she wanted a divorce because she could not get over something that I have done in the past and regret everyday. Over the past 2 months that we have been struggling, I have tried everything I could but with no success. I want nothing more than to get back together with my wife, I just do not know if she can forgive me.
