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.

Joan

Thinking about leaving a brightly-coloured badminton stadium.  'You don't know whether you're coming or going', says the lady in the brightly-coloured polo-shirt.  Her hair is blonde and cut into a sensible bob.  I ask if she is a badminton expert.  'I used to play it, actually', she says, 'but it's a coincidence - they just posted me here'.

I say that I've got a strange question for her.  'Oh good', she replies.  I ask it.  'Mine's terrible', she says.  'It's after my aunt'.  I say that I quite like it.  'At least it's not as bad as my sister's.  She was named after my other aunt'.  She makes a face.  'Aida', she says.
