My middle name was going to be Sharon which was my birth name, but that would have made my initials ESN. As my parents were teachers, they were very aware that it stood for Educationally Sub-Normal lol. So instead, they gave me Joy as a middle name as they were so thrilled to have been given the chance to adopt me! Liz :-)
