My middle name will be...!
I'm Chinese, and I don't have a middle name. My first name's Eddy, and I was thinking of changing my middle name to Merckx, because I'm a poser, of course.

To hi565: Haha! Thanks, I thought of it while I was half-sleeping and talking to a friend who kept me awake long enough for me to watch The Matrix Reloaded with him. Wasn't worth watching it in the end, but at least I thought of my future AIM screen name!
To Markio: I believe it is ''Mercks.'' I used to think it was pronounced ''Merckix'' though. It really doesn't matter, as long you don't slaughter his name. He used to eat people, y' know...

Being named Merckx is just messed up. Better to be an original than a pale immitation of the original...

If you don't have a middle name you can't "change it" to something.

But since he has a quote of mine as his sig, I gotta say "aye". (by the way, I wich I could remember the hilarious context from which that quote was derived - it had something to do with ravioli . . . )

What is it with the chinese and no middle names? I'll bet if you have a chinese name it's got 3 characters. So they think you need 3 names for chinese but only 2 for engrish?

Nay. Use Merckx for a middle name now and most people will think its related to a drug company. Maybe it's not spelled quite the same, but you've probably noticed how well most people spell.
How about Danger or Winning or Success as middle names. Wouldn't it be cool to say "Danger is my middle name." ;o)
By the way, you have the same middle name as my "Anglo" father. He hasn't got one either.
