There are times in our lives when we need to use our full names with regard to filling out important paperwork, or prior to a surgery or procedure you may be having, or applying for a credit card, or filling out a job application, making a reservation at a hotel or a restaurant, or even being a witness in a court of law. A lot of times those asking will need your first name, last name and sometimes middle name or initial. Being that I don’t go by my first name, but by my middle name, I use my full first, middle, and last name, or my first name initial, full middle and last names, when someone asks for my name.

Many times, we refer to television characters by only their first name, as we usually become familiar with who they are in their roles on the small screen. So often doing that, we tend to forget what the character or characters’ last name is, and that leads us to another in the many of Voice from the Bullpen tests of memory offered in this forum.
