Having less names makes them easier to remember.

I have never met anyone who didn't have a middle name.

>Finland
>Europe

What's a middle name?

I do

...what for?

>Spain
>Not Africa

We don't have middle names, we have multiple first names.

My first names for exemple are: Antoine, Gabriel, Chilperic, Marie

Actually this. I have 3 first names.

>Chilperic
wew lad

its not very common in canada either

>mfw Americans only have one (1) surname

>geography

Lol

>My first names for exemple are: Antoine, Gabriel, Chilperic, Marie
Deanon

I have 3 first names

>he doesn't have 2 surnames

I find it cool desu, also it's my grandfather's name.

Question

Since you have one surname from each of your parents and they both have two, how do you choose which one?

what you mean?
always father's first surname then everything else

Their paternal one
Juan Pérez Gonzales
Fernanda García Rodriguez
Kid would be Pablo Pérez García

But you can change it, I want my kids to have my mother's last name since it's much rarer and I don't get along with my father.

I have a middle name and my first name is my second name.

>I want my kids to have my mother's last name
the invisible hand of the matriarchy

You would too if your first last name was literally the most common one in the country
And my mother's last name is so rare I only know family with it, and there's a politician with it, but no relation

Usually it's the paternal one but we passed a law so the parents can choose which one goes first IIRC

We all have 2 or three names
For example it could go like : Jean ( first name ) Joseph Onésime (x2 names) d'Ormesson ( Surname)

>he doesn't have at least two middle names

yes it fucking is i know literally nobody without a middle name

Most people have middle names, they just don't use it. Some even have two middle names they get during a sacrament of "bierzmowanie" (the translation I found is "confirmation", but I doubt that's accurate).

>doesn't celebrate name days
??

Having a middle name is a bydlo phenomenon here

Yeah, what Pekka said Shit, I have three given names in total in the format of (paternal grandfathers name)-(My given name)-(maternal grandfathers name).

Everyone here has a first name, a middle name, and a last name. No one ever uses the middle name outside of formal stuff.

>name days
Explain; all we celebrate around here are birthdays.

In Poland people rarely celebrate them anymore, but older generations tend to.
Probably like 30 years ago most people celebrated name days over birthdays.

Name days are originally about saints and shit, hence why it's popular in catholic and lutheran cunts (the latter being why it's a thing here).

Every date on the calendar is associated with names, when your name comes up you "celebrate" (the celebration is usually just people saying "happy name day" to you at work etc, not as big as birthday by far).

>Antoine, Gabriel, Chilperic, Marie
So are you a man or a woman?

>tfw I don't have a middle name

My surname is not even a pleb one

Antoine Gabriel (not Gabrielle) and Chilperic are man names.

Marie is uncommon but some men do have it as a third or fourth name here.

it was a sign of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

you are not Catholic though

Hi

Guillaume, Jean, Marie here.

same with spanish, some men have María as a middle name

My little sister doesn't have a middle name because my parents forgot to fill it in on her birth certificate. We sometimes tease her about it

Doesn't wife get husbands name ?

lmao all these niggers without patronymics

>mfw my fucking middle name is Alfhild
God damn family traditions, mange...

many older men have Marie in their full name here

now all the white children I see have retarded names like
>Timéo
>Matéo
>Enzo
>Kévin
>Bryan
>Jordan
>Steve

>Steve
For some reason, I found this fucking hilarious. Not that we can talk really, shit like Liam and Enya are common here now, and the mums all get those little license plate thingies for the strollers with the retarded name on it... they're always dressed as textbook examples of Basic Bitch too. Just seeing them fills me with a irrational hatred, for some reason.

Here one's middle name is his fathers name.For example:
Artim Gëzim Shkëlqimi
Artim is the name
Gëzim is the fathers name
And Shkëlqimi is the surname

when I hear a stupid name I can guess the appearance of the mom very easily

>fat
>poorly dressed
>nosy voice
>cross around the neck
>either short or straightened hair
>often single mom with no authority
>in a relationship with a beta provider/fat white cuck/nigger/arab who is not the father

makes me feel like our race doesn't deserve to be saved desu

>middle name

My middle name is my mother's maiden name, sort of like the Spanish system but reversed. The custom of two first names seems stupid to me.

I don't have a middle name either

Don't forget to disgusting hoop earrings.

We don't have a middle name system

>mvq ma petite cousine "Nour"
"C'est un nom de Chrétiens d'Orient, donc ça va", aux dires de ma tante.

Why is she racist?
Also i know 6 Tunisian muslim girls having it, cute name desu

>tfw called mohammad
thank christ I have a different name that I go by

>cute name desu
Mais pour une petite fille française?
>Why is she racist?
She isn't, and by her demeanour you could even presume that she'd marched in Antifa rallies in her youth, but that was probably how she thought it was best to legitimify the name to us, as I don't doubt that she thinks of us as racists since we're "une bonne petite famille parisienne".

Ahmed?

The eternal Anglo?

Not really, they sometimes take it bit like this: with Argentina's president.
Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, husband Nestor Kirchner

No woman I know has her husband's last name legally, but they do get called Sra. Husband's name

ça veut dire lumière en arabe je crois

Oui :3.

Here you go:

marquette.edu/cm/faith/sanctoral_calendar.shtml

The feast day of the saint after whom you are named (assuming you have a Christian name) is your name day. We call it your "santo" here in Spain. You don't necessarily celebrate it, but people do wish you a happy santo.

Yeah my mother does that too
Sometimes my dad even does it with her lst name as well

>une petite fille française
Je vois ce que tu veux dire, mais au final ce n'est pas plus ridicule que les priscilla, Allison, Courtney etc...

But I do and everyone in Eng- Oh wait you said Europe? Yeh what is up with that.

In Guatemala it was standard practice to name the child according to what Saint's feast day they were born in

In some parts of the country "birthday" and "santo" or "día de tu santo" are still interchangeable

MORE LIKE SQUATEMALAN

I don't have a middle name but I have 2 last names

We used to do that here too some decades ago.

Most women who were born under Franco's government have Maria in their name too.

I don't have a middle name, and you seems like a bunch of homos.

1 name is enough.

Ok Cher.

It's kind of a double edged sword. Either you have a middle name that attaches to your given name, such as "Roy Johnny Kleiven" and everyone who hears that name is going to imagine some psychopath criminal drug user. But on the other hand you have middle names that attach to your surname, and it's going to be "Isak Winther Lauritzen" and you know he's from some posh family uptown.

>only spaniards and latin americans have two surnames

I will like to know how many John Smith are in the whole world

How common are random religious middle names in Spain in this day and age
For instance my grandfather's name was Emanuel de Jesús Fuentes Vaides
I have a cousin named Gabriela de los Ángeles

Shit like that

Very rare nowadays

Yeah, but that's because only white trash shit for brains name their kids stuff like Johnny (or Ronny, Conny, Sonny... anything that ends with a Y, really). Seriously, they've done studies on it, they're like 35% more likely to have a criminal record.

We have them in Bulgaria, the way it works is this
First name - your name
Middle name - the "family" version of your dads name
Last name - your family name

You can keep your family name when you marry as a woman, it's what my mom did and grandma did.

Explain me this

I know two brothers, one male the other female
Male is Vasilev
Female is Vasileva

I don't have a middle name.

>I know two brothers, one male the other female
>one male the other female
>two brothers
Wew.

>he doesn't have a female brother

Your family must suck.

This is accurate for catholics.

Name. Middle Name. Confirmation Name. Surname.

Confirmation name is chosen by the kid and is usually a saint.

>This is accurate for catholics.

Not in Spain at least.

>t. confirmed catholic

Now that ypu mention it....

oh yea, there is that too, it's the gender
family names imply being part of something, it's an attribute - an adjective
an attribute has different forms for male and female things and it works the same way for people
so Vasileva is the female version of Vasilev

That's how some of my older relatives were named.
Got an aunt named Casimira that way, she dislikes her name.

*siblings

Fine?

.cont an example
white translates to бял/бялa/бялo
for male/female/genderless

Some of my relatives have middle names, some don't.
In my nuclear family, middle names don't really make sense. Our last name is very very rare, there's less than 5,000 google results for my last name. So it's not necessary to have a middle name, for my name to be unique.

I understand people with common names having middle names to make it more unique, e.g. Mary Smith.
But what i don't understand is when parents just use some standard name like "Ann". in this case: Mary Ann Smith. Wow, you sure made it more unique. Might as well have not given her a middle name at all, idiot.
And a lot of Americans will only ever use the middle name to scold their children.
"Mary Ann Smith, tidy up your room now!!"
serves no other purpose
