What is Hillary's middle name?

[rox63]

And don't tell me it's Rodham. That's her pre-marriage last name. Every time someone uses Obama's middle name, I'd like to do the same for Hillary, seeing how so many folks say it's nothing unusual.

12. Alrighty then - It's Hillary Diane Clinton

Nothing weird about that, is there? Except that it's not the name she chooses to be known by. And everyone deserves to be addressed by the name they want to be used. Just like Barack Obama doesn't present himself with his middle name. He wants to be known by Barack Obama. John McCain hasn't been going around calling himself John Sidney McCain, even though that's his middle name. And Hillary Clinton doesn't present herself as Hillary Diane Clinton.

27. no it isn't

legally, it is Hillary Rodham Clinton, and she uses it all the time. her middle name before marriage was Diane, it is now Rodham. And she uses it, all the time.

[sharp_stick]

39. So did she just go ahead and legally expunge the middle

name Diane from her name? I will need to see the court papers you know. ;-)

Now I'm really curious, what is she hiding? Was she somehow associated with Jack, did Jack know her only as Diane and so the little ditty? Big questions all.

From now on I call her Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton all the time. If we're going to use full names we have to be consistent.

42. No, that is just traditionally how it is done when a woman marries.

Her maiden name becomes her middle name and she drops her given middle name. But....like I said, this is just the traditional way of doing this.

5. Diane

6. Diane -eom

[jillan]

7. Diane. McCain's is Sidney.

[nxylas]

19. As a comic book nerd that made me laugh

Because Judge Death's real name is also Ssssidney. Coincidence, or something more sinister?

[Lucinda]

8. Any more questions?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

9. I take her on her word that it's not Elphaba.

As far as I know.

[Maddy McCall]

11. Sure. Go ahead. It's Diane. But if you want to use the rightwinger approach...

call her "Hillary Rodham Clinton."

That's what they do, you know, to insinuate that she's an uppity feminist who retains her maiden name.

[LisaM]

13. She actually tried to keep it, but it didn't fly in Arkansas

at least that's how I understand it.

[Lucinda]

26. That's correct.

[demigoddess]

40. ALL WOMEN RETAIN THEIR MAIDEN NAME, it is on our birth certificates,

after a woman marries her LEGAL NAME is Hillary Rodham Clinton, Her married name is Mrs. William Clinton, Her social name is Mrs Hillary Clinton.

Please do not be like Rush limbaugh. Years ago he said that a divorced woman should have to go to her ex husband to ask if she could have her maiden name back if she wanted to use it.

We do not LOSE our maiden names when we marry. As a matter of fact, when I had a Texas drivers license my maiden name was on it. If it had been Hillary's it would have read Hillary Rodham Clinton.

14. You think there's something wrong with Barack's name?

I don't understand your point, if you have one, that is.
(You wasted a thread on this?)

[DemVet]

30. No kidding.

People should just realize that those that don't like Obama (I'm talking those from the R side of aisle) are going to continue to use his middle name just to piss them off, particulary if he is the Nominee. People need to realize it's not racist, just stupid.

15. Ok i am sure you will offend all the people named Diane. But if it makes you feel good

then do it. :yoiks:

[NMMNG]

16. Calling her Hillary Diane Clinton will give you a thrill?

Whatever. :shrug:

[LostinVA]

20. It's the little things for them

[rox63]

24. No - I was just trying to make a point

She doesn't choose to be known as Hillary Diane Clinton. Barack Obama doesn't choose to be known as Barack Hussein Obama. I don't normally tell people my middle name when I meet them either. Everyone deserves that sort of respect, to be known by the name they want.

[NMMNG]

37. As far as I know it's primarily RW asshats

that are making an issue of Barack Obama's middle name. There are some exceptions, just like there are exceptions to the rule that primarily RW asshats are the ones trashing Hillary Clinton in every way imaginable.

[LittleClarkie]

17. I've heard people like Hannity playing all innocent. "Well, gee, Kennedy had a middle name"

But we didn't all go around saying John Fitzgerald Kennedy or Bill Jefferson Clinton in casual conversation. There's only one reason Republicans are doing it, and it's sad to see Obama's opponents pretending it's no big deal, assuming they are progressives.

Don't agree with Republican smears in the zeal to support one's candidate, that's what I say.

And it goes for Hillary as well.

[stellanoir]

18. Stephanie Miller said we all should change our middle names to Hussein and name all of our babies

Hussein.

It was really quite funny.

21. Yeah, and not cultish at all.

:eyes:

[stellanoir]

23. It was just really funny.

Consider lightening up a bit.

Thanks in advance.

[Iris]

22. It's Rodham.

Why do you say it's not?

My middle name is my maiden name - it's on all my legal documents.

[rox63]

31. When she was born, Rodham was her last name

So that would make it her maiden name after marriage.

[murielm99]

25. Why?

What's your middle name?

[rox63]

33. My middle name is Dominique

But I generally don't present myself by telling people that. I tell them my first name and last name.

28. Britney

29. Edna-Lavern

Hillary Edna-Lavern Clinton. He nickname was "Eddie-Vern" when she was little.

[lapfog_1]

32. In what has to an ultimate irony, her middle name is Nazeeya.
