OK, I won't lie - this didn't happen
today, but I figure I'll mention it anyway:
I finally came up with a "replacement" middle name!

I know middle names aren't legally required, but I've always had one and it felt weird pretending like I didn't! So I kept trying to think of a name that I liked and flowed well with my
(current, not sure if official) first name (
Robin), and my family name
(which I plan on keeping the same),
Christopher.
And honestly, I was starting to think I wasn't ever going to find a name that "fit"... But then, the other day while I was searching through a list of names, I remembered the name
Gale, and how much I liked the name. And so I tried it on for size.. "
Robin Gale Christopher" - ahh, perfect!
I was so excited that I wanted to tell everybody about this cool new name I came up with for myself, but sadly I only had one person I could tell.
(But then a couple days later I remembered this site, which is why I'm posting it here now! haha)
