[Opinions] Re: BA

I was born in London so a mish mash of cultures. I think some people have second names but they're not officially listed.
My parents didn't give me one as they thought I could pick my own as an adult / move my last name to my middle name if I ever married.
My friend doesn't have one because they couldn't find anything that "flowed" with an awkward sounding surname (think Sprogett)
My other friend didn't have one as it's not typical in her language to have one (an Arabic dialect).
A different friend has a Mandarin name and an "English" name but she only ever goes by her Mandarin name as we all got it pretty quickly. No legal MN.
