Catholics usually have at least three names (first, middle, confirmation...though your confirmation name isn't part of your legal name unless you make it so). It seems the European royal families are big on lots of names, too (look at any of the British princes). The Japanese, however, do not bother with middle names... I have actually heard they are illegal in some parts of Japan, and I have never met a Japanese person with a middle name.
