Im very confused by the amount of people in this thread saying somebody's middle name is their name. Some people go by their middle name but anywhere I've ever gone, your first name is your real name. Going by your middle name seems like a nickname to me. So I agree, her name is Melanie.

my middle name is trent
i have gone by trent my entire life
no one in my life has ever referred to me as marcus in any consistent way
please help me understand what my real name is, i'm just so confused now!

I like it when the normal system of assigning work emails makes a naughty word, so they manually give you a different one. Bonus points if the profane one still works!

Your name is Marcus, you go by your middle name, Trent. Just like somebody who is named William goes by Bill. Their name is Bill, because its what they like to call themselves, but their real name is William

when people say what is your name? They don't mean your middle name. you can go by it, just like anybody can go by a nickname, but your true name is Marcus.

Because when people ask what is your name? It's implied they're asking what is your FIRST name

lmfao yeah man her parents gave her a fake middle name?

No its her real middle name, but when somebody says what is 'their name' they mean either FIRST name, or full name. If you are answering the question with one word then it's implied that 'name' in this context refers to first name.

Your name can be whatever you mean for it to be. In the eyes of most people who have never met you, they would not say your name is Trent, they would say your name is Marcus.

Your name is Marcus, you go by Trent.

Middle names are not what people mean when they ask your name. But you happen to go by it. When you were in class for the first time did the teacher read your name on the sheet and call you Trent, or Marcus?

yeah and i was like MY REAL NAME IS TRENT and they were like NO IT'S NOT and we argued about it for awhile but it was louisiana so eventually i just arm wrestled the kindergarten teacher and obviously lost because the kindergarten teacher was an alligator

You would just say My name is Trent because conversationally you are introducing yourself with a nickname. In the context of the interview in the first post of this thread it sounded much weirder.

you name is your first name but also your middle name is your name but that doesnt count for some reason

Are you from the US or from another country? In the US, Ive never heard anybody claim a middle name is equal footing to the first name and you can just choose one or the other. Maybe its more common if youre from a different country

The consistency

They aren't asking you for your middle name, but somebody who refers to themselves by their middle name is essentially using a nickname, so they would still say it. But its not what people refer to when they ask the question.

Yes....this is correct. Its part of your real full name, but it is not 'your real name', which refers to first name on your birth certificate

What? Literally no one but you and Conker questioned whether thats her real name. Thats a you thing. Not a her thing.

Its just interesting. She says she is going by Thandiwe Newton because that is her real name. By US conventions, Melanie Newton or Melanie Thandiwe Newton would be her full names, but Middle/Last name is not how we say names. She is obviously welcome to make that her name if she likes the sound of it better, but it's not meeting the normal conventions of what a real name is

A stage name that was given to her at birth

Maybe if you try speaking authoritatively while wrong youll suddenly be right? Give it a try again

Melanie Newton was the name given to her at birth

Thank God all legal documents ask you to separately input your real, middle, and last names.

My man, you and Embrace (post 52) are the only ones here who seem to grasp this concept that is how it works in real life.

Everyone arguing is either trolling or ignorant as fuck, but its a lost cause because they cant seem to grasp words have context and explanations to differentiate. Somehow your name is not always just your name cut and dry like that is beyond their comprehension. Its a lost cause though and all they see is derp any word can be a name and if I say it it becomes my name even though thats literally not how society works as far as defining names vs nicknames, etc.

Yeah man thats true the name she was given at birth isnt her real name or her given name, thanks for being so much smarter than The Marcus and proving this using a sophisticated Wikipedia article that you didnt read

The wiki article said exactly what I said. I quoted it ffs, obviously I read it, and nothing contradicted my statements. You just have a lack of comprehension that makes you scream, You didnt read even though youre clearly just reading incorrectly and taking things out of context then blaming me for your inabilities.
