[quote=Anonymous]Two of our three children go by their middle names. We did it for the exact same reason - it just sounded better. I would say you should weigh how strongly you feel about the order of the names and if there isn't a big difference, I would not recommend going by a middle name. To this day, I really dislike the way the names sound in the reverse order, but avoiding that came at a price. You constantly have to clarify/correct and both kids were frequently called by their first names because any "official" document has their first name. That being said, they are young adults now and it really hasn't seemed to bother them that much. Many forms now include a "Goes by" line but if not and you are filling out something that is not a legal document, like an isolated online form or similar that doesn't require a full official name, I recommend listing the name they go by as their "first" name and leaving middle name blank.
