   Probably true of my father as well. He didn't have a middle name, nor   
   did my mother, nor did my brother nor I. I did what my mother did and   
   used my birth name as my middle name. I thought that was what all women did.   
      
   My father also had "PNP" for his religion on his dog tags: "Protestant   
   No Preference". These days that doesn't even show up in places like   
   AcronymFinder.
