My given name, Michael, gives me an attribute of strength. When I'm not tackling primates from great and searing heights, I enjoy practicing styles of martial arts, mountaineering & climbing without the proper gear, and picking up Ulysses with one hand. Bully!

My first middle name, James, just sounds nice with Michael. A sense of cadence and beauty never hurt anyone. Neither does writing, nor playing the piano, both of which I am fond of and I have had the good fortune to be classically trained during my High School years. Disregard females, acquire musicality!

I received my second middle name Wellington because of a joke my father played at my Christening. I was only intended to be known as Michael James... but seeing as my father is a Napoleonic War buff and possessing even less logic than I during that incident in Canterbury, he couldn't resist. However, Wellington does fill me with a sense of strategy and intellect. I hold a Masters in Astrophysics, Space Science, and Astronomy, and I am growing keen on theology, literature, personal development, and Japanese culture.

My surname, King, can be taken two ways: it can mean one of regal bearing, or at least possessing a certain air of nobility, but it can also mean the village fool. The jury is still out on which one takes precedence.

But no matter! My name is Michael James Wellington King, and let's see what this is all about!

And that introduction is just epic.

Welcome, Michael.  It is good to know the history of your name(s) and how the speak and call you into manhood.  You have a lot to live up to but it seems you are doing a fine job.

Thank you, Mark. I do my best, and if it isn't given to me, I define it for myself from my own life experience and what I value. What does your name say about you?

Michael James Wellington King, Esq.

Mark means Mighty Warrior.
