Middle Name Pride Day
When : Always March 10th
Middle Name Pride Day honors the seldom used middle name that often sets you apart from others. It was selected with care, so you should be proud of it.
Here's two big reasons to be proud of your middle name:
First, there are plenty of John Smiths and and Mary Jones. Its the middle name your parents gave you that makes your name unique.
Second, your parents chose your middle name with great care. It often was selected to honor a friend or relative. That person may have possessed certain characteristics that they want you to inherit.
Do you know why your were given your middle name? If not, todays the day to find out. If it was in honor of someone, find out a little more about that person.
We encourage you to enjoy your middle name on Middle Name Pride Day, and every day!

Oooookay, well, my middle name is Melanie. "Gone With the Wind" was re-released when I was born and Mair loves that movie. Personally, I think the character Melanie is kinda creepy. I mean, she married her COUSIN for heaven's sake! Eeww.
BTW, Amy - your first and middle names are from great-grandmother's on both sides. I think. At least your first name - that was Papa's mother's middle name.
