So, if a meal between breakfast and lunch, a late breakfast/early lunch, is "brunch", and a late lunch/early dinner is "linner", what's this second dinner I seem to be eating lately called?
Is it "sinner"?
"Hey, Anne, whatcha up to?" "Oh, nothing much, just eating some sinner..." *giggles*

Midnight snack.
No. Midnight snack is a separate and distinct meal from sinner. *hangs head* Yes, I eat, like, 7 meals a day.

Right on! I enjoyed "The Hobbit". It went downhill from there, for me. The lowest point was those dreadful movies. Or maybe it was "The Silmarillion". Has anyone read the whole thing? And enjoyed it?
But I do like the idea of breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner and supper. Let's rename them, Ketchup-California Style:
Breakfast Well, you are sleeping through traditional breakfast time, but you are still breaking your overnight fast. So let's still call the first meal you eat breakfast -- OK? Second breakfast will become your California brunch. Elevenses just doesn't play in California. Other people are calling it "coffee break", but for the LDS crowd, how about snack? Luncheon will be KQ's late lunch. Afternoon tea -- it's that LDS thing again! How about this one become dinner? Dinner can then be supper, so Supper is then midnight snack!

I'm concerned is all. You have heard that you are what you eat, no?
I wouldn't want ketchupqueen and the little ketchup packet to be sinners.
Instead of "breakfast", how about "petit déjeuner"? You can eat French food, too. Like, um, toast and fries and bread.

I eat whenever I want, and don't worry about titling it. It's usually at 11am, 5pm, and 9pm, that's probably not a great schedule but it works for me.

I won't use the word "brunch" because I have a virulent hatred of portmanteaus.
As far as I'm concerned, a second dinner is just that; a "second dinner". There's no reason a person can't be said to dine twice in one evening.

Breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper equals seven meals. I vote you adopt that terminology.
