HelpRe: Thoughts on the number of names
in reply to a message by TheArtemisMoon
I like having more than one name. Although I never use my middle name, I think it's more interesting to have more than one.
I know plenty of people with only one name and sometimes it sounds like a waste because I really like names. But I've heard people say it's a waste to have a name you'll never use. We'll agree to disagree on that one :) I can see how a strong name could be enough, though.
About the three names, I much prefer that to just one. But if all the names are long, for example, I can see why it could be a bit too much. But I like the idea of three names, in general. Especially if you have a long list of favourites!

I know lots of people who do this.
In the early 90s it was also common for parents to use the initials of the first and middle name as a nickname, such as Daphne Jane going by DJ or William Theophilus going by BT.
