What are the names?

I thought the trend was a pretentious first name with a cutsey middle name and call them by the cutsey name. For example: Ainsley Coco or Preston Hank.

Am I wrong?

It's possible. That was what my friend did. Not sure if that's what everyone does.

In the south the family name comes first. It isn't the middle name.

Look, I've got 5 cousins named "Jimmy/Jimmie Something" (Jimmy Ray, Jimmy Joseph, Jimmy Lee, Jimmie Lynn, Jimmie Anne, and Jimmy Dale) and 2 cousins named "Ronnie Something." (Ronnie Joe and Ronnie Dale)

Plus, my oldest brother and all of the oldest male cousins are named after their fathers. (Ie. my dad is "John Preston" and my brother is "John Donald."

We have to use both their first name and middle name, or we're never going to keep them all straight.

what about when there is only 1 mary, sarah, and margaret in a family? why then do they have to use both first and middle?

Went to a Catholic school where one year we had:
Mary Ann
Marie
Maria
Mary Beth
Mary Pat
Mary
Margaret
Marlene
Mary Lena
and a few more - all in the same class! That's why Catholics add the second name -- otherwise everyone would have the same one.

You're right. The world would be much more charming and pleasant if everyone just said "Fuck you, you snotty fucking cunt"

Culture? Tradition? Because Great-Grandma was named "Sarah," too?

So sorry that everyone can't be as enlightened and educated as folks in the Northeast.

LOL! Sometimes, though, cutting to the chase is tempting.

I'm not this poster, but I also find this obnoxious. Go ahead and say what you mean instead of being passive aggressive and fake about it.

That's not passive aggressive or fake. Everyone knows it means I think you're an idiot, but you can't help it, you poor think. I am forgiving you for being an idiot.
