Ed Ranks Prime Ministers of Trinidad and Tobago by their Middle Names

Coat of arms of Trinidad and Tobago
6. (TIE) Basdeo Panday and Kamla Persad-Bissessar - Neither appears to have a middle name that I've been able to identify through my (admittedly minimal) research. No points.

5.  Eric Eustace Williams - Eric Williams is often thought of as the "father" of Trinidad and Tobago. He's their George Washington.  But you know what his middle name was? Eustace. Yikes.

4. Patrick Augustus Mervyn Manning - I'm really torn here. The "Augustus" part is so awesome that he should almost be #1.  But the "Mervyn" part is so bad that he should be below someone with no middle name at all. In the end, I think the awfulness of Mervyn outweighs any of the coolness of Augustus.

3. George Michael Chambers - A perfectly normal name. But isn't "Michael" a little boring and basic?

2. Dr. Keith Christopher Rowley - The incumbent Prime Minister.  Like with George Chambers' middle name though, Dr. Rowley's middle name is the very meh "Christopher." I'll put the doctor at the top between the two though.

1. Arthur Napoleon Raymond Robinson - HOLY SHIT! Your middle name(s) are "Napoleon Raymond?" That is so awesome. "Napoleon Raymond" sounds like a private detective or a super spy. Someone who kicks ass.
