I know most people think it's a pain, but I haven't actually had any problems with it. My parents were very accommodating, though, and informed teachers, etc, at schools that I preferred to be called by my middle name. There was another girl in my class who went by her middle name, and most of us didn't even realize that it wasn't her first name until graduation (after 6+ years together in the same class). However, I'm still reluctant to call my child by his/her middle name, but it might end up being the only way to compromise. I'm glad I still have lots of time to think of it!
