[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid doesn’t have a middle name, we barely agreed on a name, and it’s not in our culture to have a middle name, so we didn’t really think about it.

Kid since elementary would have preferred to have a middle name and I wish that we did do it. But it is what it is now. I told them it’s an opportunity to choose their own middle name at some point, if no middle name continues to bother them. [/quote]

I'm a no-middle-name 52 yo. In fact, I wasn't even named at all for a few weeks because my folks couldn't decide on one!

When I married, I started using my maiden name as my middle name and then (ex)dh's as my last. This was in the late 90's so no real id-I just had it put on my d/l that way. As time went on and stuff is more automated, many forms require a middle name or at least initial. I was glad to have my maiden name in the middle then.

Speed ahead 25 years and moved to another state and had to get a new d/l and they're real id, so my identifying documents didn't match. That was fun  :roll: So I had to get new SS card to get a new d/l. 5 years later I proceeded to get divorced...at this point I just left my name as is, rather than return to my maiden name, because it really helps to have a middle name on paperwork.

Moral of my story is-you might want to help your kiddo have a legal middle name by adulthood.[/quote]
