And also, middle name=Monkeypants. IJS.
How difficult is it for a kid to keep his middle name secret all through grade school and high school?
Right. Sir. Honey.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So, Kansas City is tied with New York for depression. Oh well, what's important is Kansas City is less depressed than St. Louis.

I discovered that when you go by your middle name, that it's very anticlimatic when people discover your middle name.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I don't hate my middle name, but I hate the combined effect of being part of a set of twins with the names: Lori Kaye and Lisa Faye.
It's sing-song scary.

I've always disliked my middle name, which is John. Too boring. Plus that resulted in my nickname in high school being Tommy John.
edit for brain fart.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just think it would suck going through elementary school and middle school, bearing it.
In theory, it sucked going through school with my name, and even more with my sister's. But neither of us would trade. I think it's not one of thoses things that'll tip school over into hell by default.
I didn't find out my father's middle name until I was in my teens. But I'm sure if he'd been Monkeypants, he'd have worn it proudly.

I'm still pretty much convinced the poor son of one my wife's ex-coworkers had the worst first name/middle name combination I've ever heard. Norbert Adolf

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I grew up having people call me by my last name as if it were my first, which made me nuts because it seemed like an old person's name.
It happens far more often here, and I don't know why. It always sets my teeth on edge. Though, worse for my brother in the Marines where everyone is called by their last name.
