Lets say your name is Robert. Everyone calls you Rob. Your bank card says rob, everything you name says rob, but the legal stuff says Robert. Over time you forget which is which, so you don't know if you used your legal name or assumed name and it gets confusing when for example, government/banks won't accept you saying your name is Rob if they want a Robert, or the other way around. I've never been the long version of my name, and indeed, none of my friends even knew my actual name was the long version.
As for middle name, I never had any connection with it, but now I do. Its a link to my grandfather (no his name was not Fred)
Re: I changed my name
So Frederick, does it cost money to change your name?
Let me guess, NFW = No Freaking Way

Well Australian and American culture in terms of the lines (grandfather, father, son etc) are a bit different...
I was going to say Michael/Mike but changed to Rob...
I don't know anyone that goes by their middle name here.
Re: I changed my name

What sort of person calls the child "Mike"?
If you give the child the proper name then they're free to use the petty one and the proper version goes on every legal document, so there's never any confusion.
Though, I'm biased as I loath being refered to as "Phil" though most of my male friends ignore that.

Re: I changed my name
I did know someone like that once, each firstborn in his family was called Robert so he went by his middle name, Alex since he hated Robert. We found out one day when a substitute teacher called the roll and after that we would often make fun of him and call him by his first name.

On your name, pever. I think it's Nick, since Nicholas is the first "N" name that comes to mind that is still a proper name when short.

Re: I changed my name
Er, congratulation?
As for initials, I remember in naming our two kids, we playing with the initials to make sure they weren't anything other kids could use to make fun of them. Alas, a couple of names we really liked had to be put aside because of that.

Nothing horrible. The only one my wife and I can remember (I just asked her) was first & middle name of Michael Thomas: MT = empty.
