[Urbane Guerrilla]

I did, however, have to explain to the wife that a girl-child would better be named "Elizabeth Enterprise R_______ than "Enterprise Elizabeth R_____" with school systems' penchant for first name, middle initial registration and record keeping. I had to cite my own experience with going by my middle name and not the first name I share with Pater.

Such a daughter could go through life knowing "Enterprise is my middle name!" and always feel ready to attempt mighty deeds. And if she thinks it a little too corny or seventeenth-century New England -- where my ancestry and numerous of my ancestors both lie -- she could discreetly veil it behind a middle initial.
