There appears to be a higher percentage of men with the middle name
Wayne in the prisons and county jails and the criminal world than in
the general population.

There may be nothing to it however those of you with new children coming into the world might want to skip it as a middle name just in case.

What do you think?
It's weird is what it is.

I think it's just coincidence. Wayne is common for a middle name (or used to be) especially in the Southern U.S.

What about Michael as the first name I would think there would be more criminals with that name as the first name being the most popular boys name to date if I am correct it has been number one forever or even John which is so common and Anthony as well. Peace. Catherine

That's hilarious. I forwarded it to my hubby whose middle name is Wayne
I am so glad I didn't let him talk me into naming our son Jr. They have the same first name but I changed the middle name. YES!!! Score one for mom for being right again!

LOL - my hubby's name is Michael Wayne, and we live in the South.

I forwarded this to my friend. Her husband's name is Jerry Wayne. She got a real kick out of it. She wanted to know why the infamous John Wayne Gacy wasn't on the list. I said I think because it's men who are currently in prison. ~Lisa

Yup, Wayne is his middle name and his friends say he'd probably be in the gray bar hotel if not for running into me. Hey, I don't see John Wayne Gacy on the list but he was a pretty bad dude too. I will share this info with Jerry...(haha)

My DH's name is Donald Wayne and we live in the deep south, hahah. he's one of those men who uses all 3 of his names when he introduces himself, LOL.

My husband is a criminal, because he stole my heart. ;-)
