what do the initials P.A. stand for after a doctors or lawyers name?

Answer 1

It's a legal term to describe a separate legal entity - Professional Association. It's a form of incorporating a group of professionals, such as physicians, or dentists, or attorneys, or accountants to allow the individuals protection from lawsuits. If you wanted to sue one of the members for malpractice, you'd have to sue the professional association rather than the individual. It protects the individuals personal assets from being taken in a lawsuit, among other things. The PA would have to file taxes as a business, etc. Other similar terms are PC (Professional Corporation), LLC (Limited Liability Corporation). It does not mean physicians assistant after a physicians name. They're not a "PA" they're an MD or DO.

Fun poll! 1. B - My husband and I have very different styles when it comes to baby names, so we agreed that every name we choose has to have a family connection. That's not to say that we agree instantly, but at least it narrows our pool. C - That said, we're probably going to give our daughter-to-be two middle names, the second a little on the daring side. Mostly because limiting yourself to family monikers can feel a little stifling, and she's probably our last kiddo. (If I had it to do over again, I'd give my son a second mn, too.) 2. I've already tipped my hand with this - I think that everyone should have a middle name, mostly because it creates an alternative if your first name doesn't quite fit. If you've got some purpose behind adding a second middle name, then I think that's fine, too. But you do have to be cautious. Unless you're a member of a royal dynasty, names like Isabella Katharina Gracielle are WAY over the top. 3. For girls, I'm quite fond of ends-in-y sounds and three syllable names in general: Rosemary Delaney Avalon 4. Ditto for boys, but I'm less fond of ends-in-y: Gideon Giacomo Julien 5. Now this is a long list! I have a particular dislike of "filler" middle names - the Ann, Lynn, Lee, Marie of my generation and their successors - Rose, Grace, Hope, Jane. For boys, it's a bit trickier because many "filler" middle names - James, William, John - are actually in honor of male family members. So I'm a bit less harsh about those. 6. Hmmm ... it doesn't really apply. I'm 35, and legally changed my name when I was 28. But I was born with the middle name Beth - not the worst filler, but a pretty generic choice anyhow. My sisters were middle named Lynne and Marie - equally uninspired.
