babynamesQuestion.
What is your opinion on calling a person by their middle name? I'm not fond of it, because I think if you're going to give your child one name, then call them something else, that's silly. Why not give them the prefered name in the first place? One example...a woman from the church I grew up in. Everyone called her Susie. I forget how old I was before I found out her name was Karen Sue. I couldn't understand why her parents didn't just name her Susan.
That being said, in some cases...going by the middle name isn't so bad. I'm glad my favorite athlete goes by his middle name, because I much prefer cheering for "Dale Jr." as opposed to "Ralph Jr."
