Barney actually had 3 middle names. Bernard Milton P. Oliver Fife. I just always figured his parents had a lot of relatives that wanted Barn to have their name and so Barns mom and dad gave him 3 middle names to keep all the relatives happy and peace in the family. I still gotta wonder what the P stood for. Maybe he had a relative named Penelope and they just used the initial to make her happy?
In an opposite bit of non TAGS wierdness, Johnny Cash's orginal name was J. R. Cash on his birth certificate. His parents simply called him JR his whole life. I am not sure if He or his parents ever actually said what the J.R. was supposed to stand for. When he enlised in the Air Force they forced him to come up with a given name instead of an initial. He chose John, and later when He signed to Sun Records he changed it to Johnny Dapper Dan Just sitting around with a bucket on my head. _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
