        Andrew Alexander Grant Fraser.
        
        See, the Frasers and  the  Grants  Clan lands were at the north
        end of Loch Ness and  they  used  to  band together against all
        comers,  employing  the noble art of  inserting  claymores  and
        dirks into their enemies.  The last  names could be hyphenated,
        but we Scots generally leave that to the sassunnachs.

    My three brothers all have lovely middle names, all related to some
    relative or friend (except my youngest brother who has "Robert" because
    he was born a couple of days after Kennedy's death - I was going to say
    assassination but I didn't know how to spell it, so I used one of
    Glenn's helpful hints)  I have NONE - I guess my parents didn't feel
    that the *giiirrrrll* needed a middle name - HARUMPH!
    
    When I was a kid, I made them up and can still find schoolwork signed
    Christine Catherine Elizabeth Butkovich!  I think I was just trying to
