Yes I do. It is very different, very foreign. I like it but noone can pronounce it. Wouldn't use it on here. I'm probably the only person in England to have my middle name so that'd be pretty easy for someone to find me. |

Yes I have one. No I don’t like it.
It’s not a name but a word. No one ever gets it’s right when I say it, never mind being able to spell it, and coupled with my real first name it’s just fucking ridiculous. |

I have two which is pretty much a full name in itself. I don't like them as I find them completely unnecessary, and they most certainly wouldn't enhance my username in the slightest!!! |

I bet you are 
My first name is equally different and people have difficulty pronouncing it too. |

"I've got one ... and not sure why people bother with them thinking about it as they are rarely (if ever) used.
Guess some do it as tradition etc honouring a passed parent or similar perhaps."
Funnily enough, I've known 9 or 10 people in my life who have used their middle name in preference to their first. So I guess it gives that option without the need for an official name change. |

I don't have one but wish I did 
I'm quite good at names (goes with my job) and I'm desperate to know all of these names you all say nobody can pronounce. I wish you could challenge me  |

I have one, I used to dislike it but now I don't mind it. It's not a common name but it's not particularly exotic.
Both my first name and surname are very common, so I often have my middle initial added to my name in work to differentiate me from the other people with the same name. |

Ahhh and in the interest of fairness, I do have a middle name. I'm indifferent to it as it's a religious one that is fairly common and I wouldn't use it in my username  |

A whole side of my family do that, their middle name is what everyone calls them including their parents. I was none the wiser until attended a wedding !
Surnames as middle names as nods to ancestry is another big one on the Scottish side. |

Yes I have one and it wasn't until I was an adult that I discovered the special meaning behind it, I now treasure it. I would never use it anywhere though especially not on here. |

Mine is my dads first name - seemed to be the tradition.
I didn’t pass it on to my son or my first name - instead I gave him my mums maiden name as a middle name (it is a boys name) so along with my dads surname I’ve brought both families surname back, which I thought was a nice touch and both sides appreciated

I’m pretty much the same nobody can properly pronounce it and even when I give them hints they never guess but I’m not saying it here |

I picked up some medication yesterday and the pharmacist was trying to read my name, could see he was really struggling trying to get his lips around it  so I just said it instead. Save him the embarrassment. |

That was a really common thing in times gone by when there was an expectation that traditional naming patterns were followed (first son named for the father’s father, first daughter for the mother’s mother etc).
Pain in the arse genealogy wise searching for Betty who sometimes used Betty, sometimes Elizabeth, but is actually Jean Elizabeth on getting birth certificates 
Middle name surnames often followed a similar pattern as well. That one was helpful in the period where most of my family tree were either called John, Susan, Elizabeth or Michael! |

My middle name is Ann. Totally boring. I loved Anne of Green Gables as a child and used to get huffy that my parents hadn't even managed to use Ann with an e.
I can't imagine using it as part of our username would do anything for us. |

I have a very common middle name that gose with my first. My first born son has no middle name, just like his dad. My 2nd son has 2 middle names to make up for number 1 not having one. Both my girls have my middle name. |

It was and my family following the naming conventions along with the different first names which don’t appear anywhere but who says them. We have Jacks who are really Johns or Minnie who is actually Williamina, to name a few. |

Ah yes Minnie. Who could be Williamina, Margaret or even Mary.
Not to mention Lizzy - who was actually Isabel. |

"They were expecting a boy! I was lucky to get the first one  "
My parents had a girl name and a boy name picked out for me and my siblings. (So I know what my name would have been if I'd been a boy - my brother's name) |

I’m having this fun tracing back my family
I am *possibly* the only person in the UK with my name. I don’t have a middle name as my real 1st name is double-barrelled. I hated it growing up & has only been the last 10 years I’ve grown to like it

I believe I AM the only person in the world (not only the UK) with my name (especially if you add the middle one in). Acquiring an unusual surname from Mr KC has created this |

But it this way, I'll be easy to trace via Ancestry dot outer space or whatever in a few hundred years |

Thankfully I don't.
Struggle enough with a double barreled surname. The latter half of which I didn't even know existed until I sat exams. Had to have my 'new' full surname written for me on a piece paper because I couldn't content with remembering the 16 letter sequence under stressful circumstances  |

Correction ... 18 letter sequence clearly I still struggle with this! |
