Don't give liberals any ideas.

Names will be racist soon and we'll be identified by some other bullshite.

I know some twins with the same exact first and last name. So..the middle is what helps identify.

Oddly enough they don't use them for traitors.

My parents decided they were going to name me one thing but then call me by middle name. Has been the biggest pain in the arse my entire life.

It was very common of the generation before me, parents and their peers, to be called by middle names.

I think this was a traditional thing.

My great grandfather was a twin and they had the same first name. Different middle name.

Also, back in the 1800s it was very common for cousins to have the same first and last name. Assuming it was always like this until recently. Maybe this is where the middle name comes in?

Back when everyone was named John James and Thomas middle names sure helped out a lot.

My Italian boss has no middle name.

I knew a French husband and wife who had the same first name, so subsequently shared the same name, and their middle name was the only defining factor.
