What's In A Name

I got to thinking about names the other day and how they are used, especially when we are younger. I could always tell how little or how much trouble I was in by the way my mom said my name. I came up with four different levels.

Level 1: First name was shouted but no major anger was behind it.
Definition: Come here, you are needed.

Level 2: First name shouted with some anger behind it.
Definition: You are in trouble. Need to get to the room where your name was shouted before you get into more trouble.

Level 3: First and middle name has been shouted.
Definition: You are in some serious trouble. Expect some type of discipline.

Level 4: First, middle, and last name (full legal name) has been shouted.
Definition: You are dead meat. Time to write your will.

Would you add any other levels or definitions?
