--- Quote from: Method of Madness on 02 Sep 2013, 10:36 ---You'd think the smarter Rosie Jones would have thought to start writing her full name (middle name included) on all her exams. Also, since I've always known so many Erics, I've usually gone by my last name anyway.

Fun Fact: (not really fun) Middle names are not too common in German. You'll probably find more people without, than with a middle name. I have one, but I don't use it normally.
Method of Madness:
Most people I know who have middle names (me included) never use them. I don't even mind the name itself (Alan), it's just useless, and official forms that require a middle initial kind of annoy me. It's not worth the trouble of officially getting rid of it, but I hate when official documents have my full name. Some of my friends have their mother's last name as their middle name, which seems kind of insulting ("we want our kid to have both our last names, but only one of them can be his real surname, with the other one hidden for the most part") or as a way to acknowledge a relative, but mine is neither of those. It's just a name that was picked to give me a second name.
ackblom12:
I will give middle names one benefit. They can make tracing your family tree a bit easier.
ankhtahr:
Actually my parents gave me a middle name because they wanted to make it easier for me to go to the US and study, if I wanted to.
And I still love that my first name was chosen because of Star Trek and Classical music.
Method of Madness:
If I have a son, and I can get my wife to agree with it, I see no reason to not make his middle name Tiberius. That's the one advantage of middle names, you don't really have to worry about the impact of giving them a cool one, because they're almost never used. Then again, I may drop the ball with the first name in that regard.
(Tyrion Tiberius Surname)
