    One time my older cousin was telling me a story about how when she opened up a file at her work she saw the name, Gluteus Maximus. No joke, this is a 100% true story.

    My youngest daughter's name(s) were chosen by my wife. She named here after both grandmothers and her great grandmother. She wanted the 3 first names and the last on the birth certificate. The first names were quite long.
    About 2 months after her birth I received a phone call from Social Security say the wanted us to chg the first names. "They wouldn't fit on the card"! I said NO! And off the top of my head I said it was "a religious thing" (it wasn't). They say "Oh, Ok"
    We later received the card and it was typed on a manual typewriter with the names extending to the very ends of the card!

    I've heard that the reason that King and Queen are popular dog names is to insult the King or Queen. If you call out King your dog comes running! With that in mind I one time named a dog Sammy... I won't go into details.

    Yes, I know about this. I have a girl's first name. On forums and things I usually go by my middle name so everyone doesn't get confused. These days I don't care, but I spent many years wishing I was called John or something.

    My name is Edmund, still don't like it that much, but used to hate it especially when we read the lion the witch and the wardrobe at school. When I got married changed my middle and last name but kept Edmund, it seemed to weird to be called anything else.
