I don't dig pit traps and cover them with sticks and a thin layer of leaves nearly as much as I expected; I find a chance to do it barely once a month.

To be honest, I'm still annoyed that middle names don't have more relevance. Maybe five or so people know my middle name, all of which are family or relatives. Aside from that, it just makes it more complicated to fill out forms for various government organizations.

I go by my middle name, and the number of people this confuses is amazing.

Middle names are a neat backup you can use if you want to be slightly more anonymous as they are still your legal names after all.

Back when my mum went for (alcohol) rehab, she used one of her middle names instead.
