I used to work with a guy that was from China. He only had a first in a last name. He was going to college here and the college required everyone to have a middle initial as part of their login. They just used his last initial as his middle initial.
Wait does everyone there have a middle name? I’m Dutch and I don’t have a middle name. I figured that was quite common also in the English speaking world
He’s the only person I’ve known here in almost 50 years without a middle name. It’s quite possible other people haven’t had a middle name but it’s never come up.

Not that I’m aware of Gerry F. Flap.

I knew that middle names are common in the US but I didn’t know it’s so deep in the culture
Poor Alex Song (A.S.S.)
Is a middle name mandatory for you?
I don’t know that it’s absolutely mandatory but it’s definitely pervasive.
I’ve usually seen NMN used for no middle name.
