How many people's middle names do you know?

[AstroManLuca]

Earlier today for whatever reason I started thinking about middle names. Few people use them. I realized that, among people I actually know (not celebrities or anything), I only know a few:

1. My brother
2. My mom
3. My dad
4. My late grandfather
5. My ex-girlfriend
6-7. Two of my close friends
8. One of my brother's friends (which I only know because he goes by his middle name)

Eight, that's it. I don't know if it's weird to know so few or if that's totally normal. I don't know the middle names of any of my three living grandparents, any of my cousins, aunts, or uncles, or most of my friends. I do know both my grandmothers' maiden names, though.

Quite a few... too many to name here. I find middle names interesting so I remember them.

I know quite a few. Our family has a tendency to refer to each other by their first and middle name. If I don't know someones middle name, I like to make one up. It works for me.

A bunch. I sign paycheques for about 150 people every two weeks and most of them have their middle name on the cheque

My immediate family, and a good number of my friends from school (as their email address were their three initials). On the whole, not a lot.
