Here and there, but IMO kids that are mean are going to always find something to tease about and most people don't even know your middle name unless you ask. I see your point though and I certainly am not cross that you mentioned it because I have thought about it too. My husband's middle name is Carroll after his mum's maiden name. He took a lot of ribbing on that one! All things to consider. I am leaning toward Patrick, but have a slight nagging feeling that I'll later regret not using Moran. My sister has a Thomas Andrew who was nearly Thomas Moran. He is now 10 and wants her to change it to Moran. Guess we are proud of our roots!!

(I actually got rid of my middle name of Lyn when I married and changed my middle name to Moran). My dad passed away 4 1/2 years ago so it makes the name even more special I guess.
