Help[Opinions] Re: pot ... kettle ... black.

I wouldn't say that you're not close-minded concerning ethnic names, considering you've said cultures that use 2 middle names are silly just because you happen to dislike the practice.
No one is asking you to repress negative opinions, simply to phrase them in a way that's not rude and tactless.

I still do think multiple middle names are silly. It is my opinion. Respect it.

I dislike double middle names myself, but saying a whole culture is silly because of a matter of taste in names is plain ethnocentrism, a trait that doesn't deserve much respect.

(I agree with you on the middle names, by the way.)
Would you respect the opinion of someone who wanted to name their child a name you think is horrid? If you honestly would respect the opinion of those people, maybe others would respect yours.

I respect everyone's opinions on here. Turning a blind eye to distaste is another matter.
