Or... you could STOP confusing yourself and everyone around you, and
use the correct, standard notation.

12:00 AM = Midnight
12:00 PM = Noon

Like it or not, this is what people agreed on, decades or centuries ago.
If you use this, you will be understood.  If you make up your own crazy

made-up crap to the point where you can no longer remember what the
correct versions are.
