To be honest, I'm still annoyed that middle names don't have more relevance. Maybe five or so people know my middle name, all of which are family or relatives. Aside from that, it just makes it more complicated to fill out forms for various government organizations.
Work in HR for a large organization, a thousand or more employees, when you have a handful of John Smiths, the middle names really start to matter. Even with a hundred or more I’ve had 3 people with the same name before.
