i can speak from experience on this topic. my husband hates his middle name, so he did not want our son to be "the third", but he did want our son to have the same initials as his. coincidentally, the name we wanted for our son began with my husbands middle initial, so that worked out. however, calling him by his middle name, while having a different first name has proven to complicate matters -at school, at the doctors or dentist(especially if husband and son see the same doctor/dentist). i would never have a child go by their middle name again.
