"The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble."

This one made me laugh the most. Both times that I was sitting around being way-too-pregnant and discussing the final contenders for names for my kids with my Mom and Grandma, it would come down to the "backdoor test". Once you have a name you really like, you go to the back door, open it, lean out, and yell the name; first, middle, and last. If it sounds good, it's a keeper. The logic here is, that's how you're going to be using the name most often between the ages of mobility and college, so it better sound good.
