I don't have one either.
My parents thought it would be different to not give me
(or my sister)
middle names.

I do have a cool last name though

I go by my middle name, as well. My first name is Thomas, so ever since I learned to write in cursive, my signature's been "T. Nathan ******". For awhile there in high school, teachers were calling me "T. Nathan" whenever I had to answer a question. I thought that was kind of funny.

I go by my middle name as well. My first name is James, but I am never addressed by my first name, at least with people who know me. I never use the initial for my first name either. I much prefer being called Mark to being called James.

I do use James M. Hansen when I sign paperwork for work, and for legal documents, since that is how my driver's license reads.

My parents named me after my grandfather, after a fashion anyway. Kept the same first name and middle initial, but changed the middle name because it was very archaic sounding and my mother hated it. I'm really glad they made that choice, as I hate what it would have been as well. It would have been Milton.

and I only have five different letters in mine. it's nice when it's simple.

No middle names = not crap

I don't have one. When I was five or so I asked my parents why I didn't have a middle name. I guess I was perturbed by it so they told me I could pick out my own middle name. I couldn't think of one and eventually forgot about the whole issue.

My brother has no middle name so he adopted the middle name of his girlfriend - Elizabeth.

Don't have one, but then I don't have a fridge either and i'd rather have one of those.

I don´t have a middle name. There were times when I wanted to have one (because all of my friends had middle names).

Now, I´m happy not to have one.

In my country it has become very popular among "simple" people to give their children very exotic beautiful names. So illustrious names are a good indicator for the lower class. Especially in combination with ugly family names.

The more beautiful the forename, the sadder the life behind it.

Whenever I read birth announcements and become witness of criminal acts like "Angelina Jolie Komatowski" or "Benedikt Adriano Rasselkopp" I feel very sorry for the children...

No middle name.
I think that was pretty much the standard in 1972 in the part of the world I was born in.
May have changed now.

I never minded not having a middle name, and sometimes I even enjoy it.
