re: Does anyone else here go by their middle name?

I do. Parents wanted me to have the same initials as my dad, but didn't want to call me junior. So I've got the same first name as my dad, but a different middle name

Exactly the same situation for me. Dad is John Alex, I'm John Alan.

I find it to be something of an advantage. When the phone rings and the non-native English speaker asks for John, I know I can just hang up the phone....

I do and it's because my first name was a compromise to appease both sets of grandparents and keep peace in the family the only people who ever called me by my first name were my grandparents, judges, lawyers, and other official people.

Damn.Thanks

Went by my middle name (am a Junior) until college, when I switched to my first name. Family calls me by my middle, while friends and co-workers use my first name.

My dad did the same thing.

Nah...I do have a pretty incredible middle name though.

I've started using my first name and middle name together on somethings.

My mother does. But for her it is understandable. Her name is Donna and her father is Don and her brother Donny. She needless to say hates her first name.

You might be a redneck if...

My dad goes by his middle name and he hates his first name.

His first name was given to him by the doctor that delivered him. My dad was the 7th of 10 kids and my grandmother had no more fricks to give at that point and told the doctor "you can pick his name"

That's pretty neat actually. My pop was one of 9.

We have a neighbor named "Wicky" on his drivers license because his mother passed out after birth. His father was a drunk retard with a speech impediment that couldn't write at all.. The nurse wrote down "Wicky" because he couldn't say Rs..
