I went by my middle name.

Me and my dad had the same first name so, i went by my middle name. Better than Junior.

Now, I go by my first name.

Similar here. My grandfather, dad, myself, and my first son all have the same first name. My grandpa went by his middle name, my dad by Bob, and I go by Rob. Our son goes by his middle name.

My son, started using his first name after my father died. Named after his grandfather

Plus the particular friend that comes to mind has a spanish nickname his parents and grandparents call him so he has to answer to that too

my wife (no pics) has known me during both time frames. she really gets confused when we are around the 2 different groups.

My mom’s family calls her by her middle name. Everyone else knows her by her first name.

I grew up with someone who changed last names. His folks were only common law married for most of his childhood, and may still be. He used mom's last name when he was in school. He changed to his dad's a few years after we graduated.

I remember playing ball in middle school with a guy who I didn't go to school with who went by his middle name and that was the only name I knew him by.

We show up at the same high school together and I say, "Hey 'middle name'" and he looks at me like I'm nuts bows up and says, "What did you call me? I'm 'first name' now!" We didn't hang out much after that. I think he actually moved schools rather quickly.

Had a similar experience with another friend. Same elem school, went by Eric. Different middle schools, show up to the same hs and now he’s a Marco. What the frick? And they act like you should know better
