[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What drives me more crazy is when people name their kid Elizabeth Grace, for example, but always intend to and do in fact call her Grace from day one.  Just name her Grace then!  I went to school with a kid like this and he hated having to correct every teacher on the first day of school but saying his name wasn't actually Michael, it was John, even though his parents named him Michael John.  And no, in neither case was it a family name.[/quote]

Eh, it happens.

Trivia: Paul McCartney's actual name is James Paul McCartney. His parents called him Paul from the beginning to avoid confusion, since his dad's name was James. Lots of families had tons of people with the same name, back then. In George's family, there were tons of Harold Harrisons.

And yes, I know too much about the Beatles. It's an illness. [/quote]

I think it happened a lot at that time too.  Both of my grandmothers went by their middle names - always - and one was from London and the other from the rural midwest. [/quote]
