Perhaps I missed out in my education somewhere but what is the point of having a middle name? I don't have one, don't need one, don't want any middle name.
I suppose in years gone by one might have included great grandparents names etc so that you can be traced back to a certain lineage. Nowadays one may have a lot of middle names because parents couldn't make up their minds which ones to leave out. Anyway I'm just a long number to my bank, NHS, tax.
Filipinos have mother's surname as middle name but when asawa ko got her UK passport she just dropped all names other than Christian and Surname.
What would society do if I decided not to bother with a name. Or perhaps I prefer to call myself JKY467P. If that was the name stated in my passport would immigration man let me in?
