 I love both those middle names. Apparently my first name has Hebrew origins...but I'm not Hebrew...my mom heard it on the TV and liked itPrince Of Dorkness wrote:I have two middle names.
 Burridge and Dakota.
 Burridge is a British name.
 Which means I've got family from England. I mean... didn't England like attack America or something? We went to war with them once, I'm pretty sure.
 Oh... Dakota is a native American tribe. Which makes me a terrorist or something.
 Wow. Only my grandmom called me with my middle name...but hey - maybe we should start doing it for everyone.  Why should Barack get special treatment?  :evil: Only my grandmom called me with my middle name...but hey - maybe we should start doing it for everyone.

            My middle name is Ray which is short for X-Ray which is the kind of vision I have which makes me the ultimate terror on earth.

 Sorry, Godfather, that just doesn't make sense. If you trace my family name you might find that I come from Amish background. My father was born 100% Amish. That did not influence me to do or not do the things I do or the decisions I make. I drive a car, use a computer, play an electric guitar, use a toaster, etc, etc. And that's just after one generation.

 i have to disagree with you here brian.
 people can be very much influenced by their heritage. tho it doesnt mean they will be. how far back into that heritage are we willing to go in order to pin someones decisions on it, in order to say i told you so,is another matter.hear my name

 no I'm not kidding... as you just said Arabic roots, a name given at birth does not always give clues to family back ground but sometimes it does...you really don't understand that ?

 it is just a cheap way of insulting the guy because his middle name is the same as the guy's in iraq who just happened to be a muslim..."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
