FAQs

Middle name as primary forename. In England and the United States, some who choose to be known primarily by their middle name abbreviate their first name as an initial, e.g. J(ohn) Edgar Hoover, J(ohn) Paul Getty, J(ulius) Robert Oppenheimer and F(rancis) Scott (Key) Fitzgerald.
It isn't a problem at all. Their legal name is on the system and their certificates are in their full legal name, but day to day they go by their middle name. I would imagine passports and driving licences will be in their full legal name too.
In some cases, the individual may adopt a stage name to avoid confusion with other family members who have similar names. Actor Mark Harmon (Thomas Mark Harmon) uses his middle name professionally to avoid confusion with his father Heisman Trophy winner and former broadcaster Tom Harmon (Thomas Dudley Harmon).
In English culture there are no formal rules, but certain families may have their own traditions or preferences. Male children are often given as their second name the first name of their father or one of their grandfathers. Or it is not uncommon for them to be given as their second name their mother's maiden surname.
No, it is not common. Some people prefer using their middle name instead of their first name. My husband did not like his first or middle name, he preferred to be called by his last name. Most people call me by my middle name, because I ask them to.
