My first name is the name of my paternal grandfather and my middle name is the name of my maternal grandfather. I have always liked both names, and now that my parents and grandparents are all gone, I like them even more. (Both names are very traditional). In fact, as I get older, I find myself using the shortened version of my first name less and opting for the full name. (For some reasons, Americans have a compulsion for shortening names.)
