[quote=Anonymous]I am called by my middle name and it is fairly annoying. I understand why my parents did it - the flow is better and the first name is not great (think "Beverly Blair Longlastname" (my name) vs "Blair Beverly Longlastname"). Obviously I start out lots of conversations with "actually I go by 'Blair.'.." Not a huge deal but a little tiresome. More problematic is that sometimes there is confusion or mismatches with paperwork. Just one example: I immigrated to US for a job and the offer letter from my employer was addressed to "Blair Lastname" rather than "Beverly Lastname" so it didn't match my visa paperwork and I had to get them to send me a new one, resulting in my visa getting held up. I don't want to overstate it - it's not a huge deal, and not something that bothers me on a daily basis. But, it's annoying enough that I definitely didn't want to do it to my kids.[/quote]
