Embarrassing Middle Name: Difference between revisions

Line 313:

* [[Barack Obama|Barack Hussein Obama]]. Compounded by Obama's race, many ignorant Americans fully believed that Obama is a crypto-Muslim due to his Arabic middle name and the trivial similarity of his surname to "Osama." The "Birther" movement continues to use his name as ammunition to claims that he's actually a native Kenyan. Obama once quipped, [[Crowning Moment of Funny|"I got my first name from my father, and I got my middle name from somebody who obviously didn't think I'd ever run for president."]]

* Not to mention Joseph Robinette Biden.

** Actually, it's not that rare to take something that was a surname in a previous generation and insert it as some child's middle name... for instance, a mother's or grandmother's maiden name may appear here.

* Dan Whitesides, the drummer for The Used, has the middle name Leslie, which is a commonly known unisex name.

* Clarissa Theresa Philomena Aileen Mary Josephine Agnes Elsie Trilby Louise Esmerelda Dickson Wright, any one of which on its own would not be easily owned up to, let alone when all ten middle names are put together.
