ArchivesRe: My daughter's unique name..
in reply to a message by Elaine
It is stupid to deviate from the norm and call your child by his or her middle name instead of the first name on a daily basis. The first name that has to be put on all of the legal documents is a useless legally required alias that only confuses people. If you like being a bunch of stupid confused airheads, then that is your problem. It is easy for you idiots to trivialize all of this garbage because you won't be the one who has to deal with all of this cr*p when your child fills out legal documents. However, your child won't like it one bit and will hate you for doing this to him or her. Please take my advice and call your children by their first names on a daily basis. I'm not being hostile because I'm only telling you the truth. It is a pain in the neck. Are any of you called by your middle name instead of your first name?

1. If the name on the birth certificate was the name to be used, then my mother's name is Unnamed.
2. My last name would be Kraps.
3. What about people who don't HAVE birth certificates? There still are those who don't.
4. Let's also talk about Peekabo Street who didn't have a "legitimate" name until she was about four (if I recall correctly).
I forgot. You don't recognize these situations.

How Rude!
I'm new to this board, but I thought the remarks Elaine made were very rude. My brother has been called by his middle name since birth and he has no problem with it. He was named after my father, and my mother called him by his middle name so we wouldnt have to go through big Gregory little Gregory thing. He has never been made fun of for this, or had in problems in school or otherwise because of this.
Thank you.

Well if he was lucky and didn't have any problems, then I'm happy for him. However, it is possible that he has had some problems because of it and he didn't tell you about it.

When you are in a business, then you are supposed to call a customer you do not personally know by his or her last name. It is still rude to call someone by a first name, middle name, or nickname when it hasn't been requested even when you call the person the name that they use every single day of their life. Screwing up the given name -first or middle- makes this much worse. Please remember this.
