what's your middle name?

Someone once told me that you should try to learn something new every day.
With this in mind, each day of 2012 I will try to discover the middle name of someone I do not know.
This blog charts my progress.

Anthony (III)

I ask a bouncer as he tears my ticket.  He pronounces the 'th' as a voiceless dental fricative (as in 'thing') as opposed to a voiced dental fricative (as in 'this') or, as is more common, a plain 't'.  Despite his clarity I check that it is spelt with an 'h'.  He assures me that it is but the person behind me has a printed e-ticket and takes his attention.
