I must get more dense the later it gets. 
I'm seeing many names you typed.

yes, you must be gabby.  Is it that you didn't know they all had "wayne" as a middle name, like John Wayne Gacy, the Killer Clown who raped and murdered 33 teenage boys? 
Why is it that the bad guys always are mentioned with their middle names but the good guys usually are only listed with first and last?

And what about those who have first, then middle initial only, then last?  John F. Kennedy, Robert E. Lee...

Interesting....

You got it, Chilly!
Thank God his middle name isn't Wayne....

I gotta say, I just saw a bunch of names and thought perhaps you had a funny five minutes Nan.  Then I realised what you were saying. I'm inclined to agree with you - thank god his middle name isn't Wayne.

I wonder if anyone ever named their kid Wayne Wayne Wayne.

ah shoot googled it and "Happy, Texas" had a Wayne Wayne Wayne Jr.!

too much bad Waynes---- Nan how do know so much bad peoples

My old man's first name is Wayne. He's a decent man. Gramma saved him by not putting it second. I am bummed you took a beating with some of the remarks wnanhee wasn't deserved. Picking apart how we write is bogus. Just my two cents.

Yes, the joke was that Wayne is the middle name of each person listed.
Whereas, my father-in-law's first name is Wayne and thank goodness it wasn't his middle name; otherwise I would be worried - That was the joke.
As far as names go, the media always portrays bad people with first, middle and last name all together.
Even though we use a middle initial in some names, the person still has a name attached to it.
Sometimes my jokes can be obscure, no reason for anyone to take offense or be on the defense; it's all in fun!

Bless you Nan - I have to say on re-reading my post, I hope you didn't take it the wrong way.  I wasn't being disrespectful to you nor ever would I, as you know.

Oh dear. 

No apologies necessary but thank you and I'll send my apologies out too!

I've been misreading this whole darn thread.  I thought Nan agreed I was dense, didn't realize it was Chilly.

Starting over!

Now that you mention it, Wayne does seem like a curse of a middle name.

I wonder if Casey Anthony will now be referred to as Casey Marie Anthony.  If the guilty have their middle name added, hers should be... since I think she's guilty.

I like it just to call her tot mom, but I'm sure all of her civil trials will have her listed as Casey Marie Anthony, so maybe it will stick.

some days things just go wrong no matter what, so don't worry about any density issues, gabby!

(ps speaking of wayne.  wonder if dwayne is also cursed amongst middle names)
