What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?
Oh mum and dad what did you do to me giving me a name meaning ‘great’ or ‘magnificent’. I, of course, am neither just a mild mannered normal person who now knows his middle name is an English corruption of the Latin name Augustus! Augustus in the Middle Ages was corrupted to Augustine which was then further corrupted to Austin and mine is Austen.
If course we always want the best for our children and I wanted to name my son Beowulf. My friends gently told me that this might be a bit much to live upto…
