[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents did what you're describing OP. To be honest I don't love it - it doesn't fit on most forms and can be confusing what my actual legal name is. That being said, mine is a very long and hard to pronounce name so if yours is one syllable as you say it may be better. I would have preferred my parents just dropped my "first" middle name and named me FIRSTNAME MOMSLASTNAME DADSLASTNAME. [/quote]

I posted the above and after seeing this thread take off I'm pretty sure I'm the only person with this name situation who has responded? I wouldn't tell my parents that I hate having the extra name-- it would make them feel bad, but it is really annoying and inconvenient. It is normal in some cultures but it isn't in ours and it makes every legal form difficult, cumbersome, and confusing. Seriously. There have been so many times in my life when it has caused issues -- airport, security documents, drivers license, background checks, graduations, etc etc. I'm getting married soon and planning to drop the extra middle name when I change my last name.

That’s great for you. Good choice. For you.

I have two middle names. It has never been more than a minor inconvenience. If I didn’t like it or it was an issue, I would change it. Just like you are doing. [/quote]
