What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?
The other day I was talking about the meaning and significance of my first name. But I don’t have a middle name. I have no idea if my mom and dad had a plan to give me one when I was born. This might be used to fill the void here. So, I went to ChatGPT.
I asked ChatGPT what would be a few middle names that would sound nice with my real names. Besides, I asked for them to be tailored for someone who would write mystery or thriller novels. I must say, it didn’t disappoint. Below are the suggestions it gave me, with their respective meanings and significance. While I was at it, I asked it to create the cover for this post as well.
