Actually, sometimes people with two middle names aren't really from greedy parents, but are being elaborate themselves and considering a confirmation name. ^_^
I like to do that. Makes my "full" name a whopping Laura Skylie Elizabeth-Catherine Engler. Technically born just Laura Elizabeth Engler, then I decided at age ten that Laura Elizabeth sucked, and that Skylie was better. Then fifteen came around, went through my confirmation and adopted the Catherine as my Catholic name because I think it's pretty. And it's kinda for my aunt, but she spells it with a K, which I don't think is as pretty.
No idea what Elizabeth or Catherine mean, though. Laura is "laurel-wreathed" or sometimes "Lady of Victory." Engler is, I think, an Americanized version of the german "engel," or "angel" (or, at least, I hope it is), and then Skylie is "Distorted Beauty" in Reidvyn. ^_^
I know that isn't just my middle name, but, my middle name is boring and i don't know much about it. Pretty much was given it because my mom loved Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Elizabeth was her middle name, and she decided against calling me Erin, Mary, or Grace in the long run.
