- Go to Do You Have Two First Names...or Two Last Names?
Thanks Kushie..
I have actually heard that comment as well. "Don't ever trust a person with two first names". That would be an interseting one to find the origins of.

WELCOME...!
It appears you are a newbie blogger?! I am really liking your stuff here...
Funny how you should write about 'two first names' and stuff......I have a habit of saying to friends, 'beware of the guy with two first names....'of course not everyone sees any humor in that comment, but there a few folks that actually can comprehend and laugh about it...ANYWAYS....write on!

I have read that particular book, DeIntinis, and happen to beleive it a
must read for anyone interested in why we do what we do and how it affects who and what we are and become. I find people misspelling and mispronouncing names a lot and I find this not only pathetic, but lazy and disrespectful. I, personally, do not have the two-first or two-last name problem, nor do I have a problem with people mispronouncing my name, but I do think everyone from the most powerful and learned to the most illiterate and poor should have enough respect for their fellows to at least pronounce their names correctly. Of course, these are the some of the same people who know where and what "Eye-rack" is, but have no clue what or where "Ear-rock" is. Names are important. We should treat them with considerable respect.
