That's great, now I need a middle name. Any good suggestions?

Control-G. You'll really get attention when your name makes the bell ring on the VT-100 emulator.

Danger. Then you can tell people Danger is your middle name.

I actually seriously considered changing my middle name to Danger last year. However, I decided it wasn't worth the trouble for a cliche pickup line due to me being a dual citizen, and a resident in another, so I'd have to change my middle name in 3 different countries.

Plus, since it's the letter D, you get instant street cred for any One Piece fans. If that's your thing.

Nope. SQL uses single quotes for delimiting values, not double quotes.

But that would be SQL injection! Unlike the parent. Barbaric.

I don't have one and just pick random letters or names when it doesn't matter. Then I know which ones sold the info to the marketers. "Oh the place I have the X name to is now spamming me with junk mail..."

Just take an initial letter, as in Rembrandt Q Einstein, or Homer J Simpson.

I use my middle initial (see my username) because there are plenty of Andrew Martins in these circles.

BTW relevant episode is called "Homer to the Max".

Be honest: you're just hunting for a little more Irish cred.
Re:Middle name initials enhance evaluations of intellectual ... by JdeBP on Tuesday May 29, 2018 @10:06AM (#17179251)
For more Irish cred, one can of course include an apostrophe as well as the other means mentioned elsewhere in this discussion. Verilog is quite useful in this regard, because of the way that one writes hexadecimal constants.

John 003'hdeadface Smith. Known as "six" to his friends.

Ah, going the Mongolian route. In actuality, Mongolian names often translate to completely badass things.

Take for example Sükhbaatar. Translation? “Axe hero”

You could do worse than a Mongol name for yourself.

Use a number, maybe something in hex.
Re:Middle name initials enhance evaluations of intellectual ... by droidist2 on Tuesday May 29, 2018 @09:50AM (#17179112)
So a middle initial A through F but you pronounce it as a number?

No, keep the leading 0x. John 0xdeadface Smith has the added social advantage of also enabling the 0pointer-is-superuser security hole in older versions of systemd, if one can convince people that one never goes by "John". (-:
