Annie Oakley got it right.

My Dad owned a book store and it was on Arnold St so hence the stupid middle name. My ex had no problem with us naming our son David but there was no way we were going with Arnold.

Do not know, but co-workers might call him Benedict :biting:

I knew what his middle name wasn't: Norma Rae

Plot summary from wikipedia:

Norma Rae Webster is a minimum-wage worker in a cotton mill that has taken too much of a toll on the health of her family for her to ignore her Dickensian working conditions. After hearing a speech by New York union organizer Reuben Warshowsky, Norma Rae decides to join the effort to unionize her shop. This causes conflict at home when Norma Rae's husband Sonny assumes that her activism is a result of a romance between herself and Reuben. Despite the pressure brought to bear by Management, Norma Rae successfully orchestrates an election to unionize the factory, resulting in victory for the union and presumably capitulation for the demands. When Reuben first comes to the factory he tries to get all the workers to start a union, but is soon chased out of the small town. Days later Norma Rae shuts down her machine and stands on top of it striking. Soon the whole factory is with her and a union starts.

If you only knew just how close you are with that answer.

Think Green Acres.
Or the Flintstone's

I'm surprised that you fessed up so quickly. Let's all be glad the store wasn't on Michelle St.:surprised:

Ok Steve, you started it, you fess up. What's your middle name?

Sadly enough, being the last of 7 children (6 of whom have middle names), Mom ran out of middle names when she got to me. Honest Injun.

The name David makes me weak in the knees (Kevin, also).

Boys named David had / have a strange power over me.
(Parents always loved the Kevin's I brought home.)

I never called them Dave or Davey...the name David is just too powerful.
With a name like David...who needs a middle name?

In Hebrew it means "Beloved of God", so there ya go.
