Apparently my parents had a babysitter named Meredith and they just liked the name. Unlike my siblings, there was no fighting, no back and forth, no compromising, I was always going to be Meredith (Welsh for 'Guardian of the Sea')
Additionally, I have my father's last name, but my mother's last name as my middle name. I always won when we played that game of trying to guess new friends' middles names. Somehow 'Drazinski' was never high up on anyone's list...

I am planning on giving my prospective future children my last name as their middle name- it's nice to see there are side perks, although I have one of those first name-last names so it won't be quite so easy for them to win. I'll bet everyone's first guess was always Marie, so many girls have the middle name Marie.

I'm a middle name Marie! But it's my mom's first name. My kids all have Chinese middle names, they willnot be easy to guess :)

@nonlinear_time: Elizabeth and Anne are common ones as well... I do recommend the last-name-as-a-middle-name thing. I choose to go by it, my siblings, don't, but it gives us the choice without burdening us with the hyphenated last name.
