Do you have one?

Do you like it?

Would it work if you added it to your Fab username?

Yes I do. It is very different, very foreign. I like it but noone can pronounce it. Wouldn't use it on here. I'm probably the only person in England to have my middle name so that'd be pretty easy for someone to find me.

Guess some do it as tradition etc honouring a passed parent or similar perhaps.

No, it’s a very unusual name so could be identifiable as the only people who’d use it would be family.

Funnily enough, I've known 9 or 10 people in my life who have used their middle name in preference to their first. So I guess it gives that option without the need for an official name change.

I have one, I used to dislike it but now I don't mind it. It's not a common name but it's not particularly exotic.

Both my first name and surname are very common, so I often have my middle initial added to my name in work to differentiate me from the other people with the same name.

Mine is my dads first name - seemed to be the tradition.
