Anyone knowing/guessing what my middle name is

(I don't mind it now, it's not the most euphonious or modern name but it was a family tradition and hey, it's only a middle name)

― a passing spacecadet, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 17:25 (nine years ago)

Oh god yes. I was v lucky my middle name was my middle name not my first name, as it is Adrian, and I was geeky-looking, and it was the 80s. Luckily I kept that pretty quiet. I guess I can thank my dad for that one (my mum wanted to call me Adrian apparently).
