Today’s first is acknowledging my middle name. March 6-12 is International Celebrate Your Name Week. Each day is devoted to some aspect of your name. Today, March 11 is Middle Name Pride Day. The mission was to tell at least three people what my middle name was. I confess I didn’t do that – but I will tell the world in my blog post. My middle name is Stuart.
I’ve had it my whole life and I rarely use it. On the occasional legal form or when I asked, I do happily share it. It’s not that I don’t like it – I actually love my middle name. I just never really feel the need to include it.

I must admit I like the first definition better, as my lineage is Scottish. Now you know my middle name. And that I’m proud of it
