My father served in the United States Navy during the Korean Conflict. During Boot Camp, the Instructor asked him why my Dad left the 'middle name' part of a form empty.
"I don't have one" was the response. "Don't be an idiot! Everyone has a middle name! What's your Christian name, the name you were given when you were baptised?" "I'm a Jew, Chief Petty Officer! I don't have a Christian name!" Dad made certain we all had middle names, to save us from having to do extra push-ups later in our lives...
