> Middle names are underrated. Most people only go by their first and last names. Most forms only ask for your middle initial at the most. Some people even go without middle names entirely. Clearly, there's something wrong with the world when people are named things like Richard [no middle name] Thorndyke.

Even when I use false names on the Internet I use middle names (Morris Cecil Glalet). Even my Message Forum name has my middle name in it, albeit in the place of the last name.

I have a pretty funny story about middle names. My bro was scheduled to be named Simon Pierre S-B. My mother, while filling the form, put in a dash by accident (Legends has it that she was tipsy) and he's officially called Simon-Pierre Séguin-Bertrand. Wich is a pain up the a... according to him, since he goes by Simon, and forgets the Pierre on official papers.

Well, he's not old enough to fill that many papers, so it's still ok. All he can fill are healthcare forms.
