V is the only English letter that is never silent.
It represents the Roman numeral 5.
Constitutes only about 1% of the English language.
And V is my middle name.
Saw my fur balls in a V position with their legs intertwined. Love seeing these mother-daughter sleeping comfortably.
What's your middle name?

When I was young I wanted to have a Maria in my name. I don't know why.

@LadyDuck Most Filipino names have Marias too. Most of our names are Spanish names. Maria Clara, Maria Concepcion, Maria Isabel, etc.
But my father named us differently. My parents both have Spanish names but my father didn't give us those. I was named after the queen of France, my sisters have American names, our older brother has quite a unique name, as no none in the world has his name. And the other brother has an American name too.

I don't have a middle name. Only a confirmation middle name.

What is a confirmation middle name? In my country, our middle name is actually our mother's maiden name.

@LindaOHio I was born and raised a catholic and was baptized when I was a baby. I had my confirmation too but we don't practice picking a middle name during a confirmation.
My son went to a catholic school and had his confirmation in 6th grade.

@toniganzon I was raised Catholic. You have a Confirmation; and you pick a middle name after a saint. It's not a legal middle name.
