[quote=Anonymous]Bullying over names IME is something parents worry about but isn't really a thing.

I think it's fine to skip the middle name but you need to be consistent for any future children too. I do not have a MN but my siblings do and it did really bother me when I was a kid. IME kids do talk about middle names so I felt left out of those conversations and didn't like that everyone else had three initials.

I think it would have been less bothersome if the reason was just "we don't do middle names in our family/culture.". In my case, my parents just couldn't figure it out in the stressful time after I was born early and before I had to have surgery. They wanted me baptized before that but didn't have a name settled because my aunt had used the girl name my mom wanted a few weeks before I was born. In the end they went with a first name my grandma suggested. Grandma's name would have been the logical MN since my sister had the other grandma's but grandma #2 hates her name and banned it from consideration. So they just gave up on a middle name. My maiden name is now my middle name.[/quote]
