My mother is Norwegian and when I was born my parents were in the process of completing a move bk to Norway. Hence the flag as my avatar. But this all fell through but my parents gave me a Norwegian name so that I would "fit in" in Norway but it all fell through and they stayed here. So my real first name is Nils but my middle name is Richard and so everyone calls me Richard or Rich cos it is an English name.
And I went to an open day at this place the other day and you had to send in a form before you went and then did a register. It was the forst time in years that anyone apart from my Norwegian family have called me Nils, it just seemed strange.
Any of you called by your middle name?

My Dad's middle name is Oliver, but most people call him Jasper (which isn't his name at all) except for a few people who have known him since he was a kid who call him Olly.

A mate of mine is called James but all through school everyone including all the teachers called him Percy although it is not his not any of his names but most people assumed it was. Another guy was called Duncan but known as his middle name Rhys.

We wanna go somewhere else. We're not threatened by people anymore. All our insecurities have evaporated. We're in the clouds now. We're wide open. We're spacemen orbiting the earth. The world looks beautiful from here, man.

I wanna call my first son (if I have one) Jesper, but my Mrs is not that impressed at the moment, although it is growing on her!! Jesper it is then!! |
