My first exposure to the Hispanic double last names was in boot camp. A fellow in my platoon put both of his last names in the paperwork. It went in as a singe name: Cedenoescalante. The drill instructors just called the poor fellow "Alphabet". I think he revised the paperwork after he graduated to just go with Cedeno. (It's Cedeño, but I don't think they had a ñ.) Spending time in South America in more recent years, I've gotten quite used to the double last names.

They used to do that in the US as well. When I was a kid, everyone had a short nickname. I always felt the switch to more "official" nicknames was a little pretentious. It doesn't matter a lot, though - no matter what your parents want you to be called, your friends will eventually devise a nickname for you.

Same here in the Philippines. We have a lot of English/Anglo first names because of the huge American influence on culture here, but we can be so lazy that we'll shorten it to make it as monosyllabic as possible. Andrea becomes Drea becomese Drei. Colloquially, we just end up calling each other either 'girl' or 'boy' in our local dialectic versions because remembering names is honestly too exhausting in 2021 lol

In Finland you can have four names, and each can be a double name, but double names have to be hyphenated. A-B C-D E-F G-H, and then some have hyphenated last names, meaning ten names in total. We number the names, and the one we go by is called kutsumanimi. Kutsuma, this form doesn't exist in English... in it's basic form it's kutsua=to call, nimi=name, so basically it translates to "the name one is called by". With Finns I use my first name, but with everyone who doesn't speak Finnish, I either use my second or third, depending which is easier to pronounce. I also know many families that use the second name as the main name, and many who use different names with different people. So their childhood friends might call them by their second name, UNI friends by first and coworkers by third. In all formal papers we have to write our whole name, then either underline, circle or write separately the name we are called by. The name you are called by doesn't have to be your official name, it can be shortened version, for instance Jonathan to John (not a Finnish name, but an example that is easy to understand).

Don't hold it against them. They can not help it if they do not have a high enough intelligence to comprehend double names. It is too much for their brain to process. I am from South East Texas. A lot of us have the double names. Here in America they are quick to make fun of, and criticize Southerners. This is because we want freedom and deny socialism and/or big government. Now they can make fun of us, but God forbid should we make fun of them. Part of that double standard the Yankees (Northerners) love to practice. But I do not let it get me angry. I simply understand why they do what they do. They fear us Southerners because our religion gives us an inner strength, they do not possess, because they do not have religion. It is why they are trying to destroy religion. When they make fun of us, it is like the stupid kid that is always jealous of the smart kid. Once you understand this, you learn to just pity them, shake your head, say a little prayer for them and move on. There are a lot of low intelligent people out there that are always trying to bring down the rest of us. India: I love your architecture. You are a beautiful people with a rich heritage. Be proud.

I was born and raised in the South. In many families, folks are expected to name their children after other relatives. You might have Charles, great grandfather, who named his son Charles, who named his son (grandson) Charles, etc. Now you got 4 or 5 generations of Charles and can't tell them apart, so now a second name is required. So then you call them Charles Edward, Charles William, Charles Benjamin, and Charles Henry. . . . but that's a little formal, so at home you get a nickname and you end up with Chuck, Chowder, Toughy, and Jake. Sometimes when naming a kid you can really get in a jam - like both my aunts expect the baby to be named after them, okay Hannah Grace it is, then. We'll end up calling her Robin anyway.

Where does your name end and middle name begin? How are people suppose to know which names are your first names? Very curious.

Virginia-born guy here. I have 4 legal names and my parents raised me calling me by my second name (because reasons, idk). To this day it can be so frusterating for legal documents, answering phone calls from a doctor's office when I can't keep track of whose system has me under which name!

One of these moments when you think "how did I get here?!" -- so, I'm German, and we do have double names, but if people go by them they're usually written in one word (we have a thing where we write two words as one, don't ask, it's weird) like Annabella, Heidemarie or Marianne. Now, that I think about it, these kinds of names are actually quite common. They aren't regarded as two names though, but as one. Hyphenated names are also possible but regarded as lower class, as tacky. Names like Sarah-Michelle for example (sorry to every Sarah-Michelle, I know you're a great person). I didn't know double names were a common thing in the South of the US. I strangely feel more educated now, thank you. I have only one name by the way. It sucks. I wish I had more.

That's right. Annelore, Hermann-Josef, Franz-Josef, Klaus-Dieter. The list goes on. We actually call Klaus-Dieter, or whatever it is by their full names. I myself only have one name and people shorten it to: Gab, Gabbi, Gabs.

In Italy middle names are very uncommon and nobody wants to be called both names anyway lol. We do have names that are technically two names but they're regarded as one and they can be written as a single word or two words (such as Gianmarco or Pierluigi). Then we also have a lot of women of the older generation who are called Maria something (Maria Vittoria, Maria Rosa, Maria Grazia). They usually go by their 'second' name or they use both.

I've never heard of hyphenated names being "lower class" but then I also just know people with hyphenated names like Anna-Lena which can be just a normal name. Most people I know (me too) have a middle name but its like a "secret" name? like nobody knows it exists and half of the time we forget that we have a middle name because we only write it if the have to write the whole name as it is on our passport.

A long name with a space in it is fine. The real problem is when you get into things like "I only have one name" or "I have two completely different personal names and which one I use depends on the language it's being used in.", "My name can be written in any of three different writing systems, including two that are phonetic and one that's logographic", "I don't have a surname, I have a patronymic, which is NOT a surname and should NOT be used as a surname under any circumstances", "The order that my name is said/written depends on which language you're speaking and I'll re-arrange your name and/or transpose it between writing systems to match my language's depending on whether you did the same to mine, unless you speak English.", "My surname has a prefix that should not be treated as part of the surname when sorting." "But my surname has a prefix that DOES affect how the name is sorted.", "I have a first name, a patronymic, and a surname, but the patronymic is not a middle name and should not be used as one", "I not only have a double personal name, but also two surnames either one of which can be doubled up using a hyphen." , and "I have the misfortune of being Elon Musk's son"

Reminds me of naming conventions in Latin America. Ironically the specific country where my family's from doesn't follow this convention and most of us only have *one* single name, with the exception of my grandmother. My little sister does have a compound first name made up of two common names but there's no hyphen or space between them.

Triple name and double surname because, you know, Mexico! Oh! And whole my life I only used my third name but now I live in the States and only use my first name because is easiest and I am married so basically I have a name that I use in Mexico and other for the States.
