Re: I see
"Well I see that some use those middle names for something then.
This is the first time though I hear of some real use for
the middle names really."@@@@ Well, when one has a first name such as "Selwyn" or "Nanaea" or "Daividh", one really doesn't need additional identifiers such as middle names. Sometimes even a last name can be superfluous. ;)I was given the Hebrew middle name of "Rachel" by my wacky mom merely to appease the more conservative traditionalists in the family. Do you have a middle name, BTW? Daividh's is "Cargill". Daividh's father was actually the inventor of the prototype amphibian automobile, and he gave Daividh the middle name of "Cargill" as a sort of inside joke. Not many people know that, but I like you and thought I'd share that with you. :)"No disrespect meant of course:)"@@@@ None taken! Heheh... I may be a hellcat to Daividh's pussycat, but don't worry about me going off on you. You're cool, Selwyn. :)-- Nanaea

So you heard that story, eh? It wasn't such a joke in high school, where I was forced to drive an old Wehrmacht VW Schwimmwagen for everyday and could just barely coax the Amphicar out of Dad to drive to the prom. Strange -- they were all convertibles, but just didn't seem to be chick-magnets...Dad had some successes with this concept in his early years (see above), but fell on his face with the amphibious Oldsmobile sedan he designed in the late 60's for Ted Kennedy. Not his best work. :(

InterestingYour father is one of those "grey" celebrities then.
I mean being one of those who made the life of the "real" celebrities possible.
I hope he did raise again after falling on his face. Did he?

Not only tasteless, but unprincipled enough to expand on other people's baldfaced lies, Nan. And guess who ROOLs at those? :)
