She slams both of the old geezers, and she is right.
So will you vote for her?

They know that Nikki is her name and that it is on her birth certificate. Yet many progressives call her by her other names. They are convinced she must have "disowned" the other names, and are trying to mock her by using them. Remember when Sunny Hostin called her out for disowning her heritage when she herself goes by a different name because she says people can't pronounce her real name!
I will keep an eye out to see if any of the leaders of the D's call her by other names. So far, I have not seen it, but I may have missed it.

Now, yes Nikki is on her BC as her middle name. She claims she was called Nikki since birth. Maybe her parents were confused and put the names on the wrong lines? In my culture we don't call our newborns by their middle name. How about your culture?

How about your culture?

Not at all uncommon for people to primarily use their middle name.

Of I agree but the question was from birth which is extremely uncommon in my culture. Not only is it uncommon but parents get extremely agitated when done to newborns.

Would Indian/Americans, Irish/Americans, Italian/Americans and many other groups be considered minorities?

That's exactly my point. People are projecting *their* culture onto her. They're saying she chose Nikki even though it is a "secondary" name. But this persists even after it has come out that she's been Nikki all her life.

My full name is Yehuda Leib. I go by Leibel. This forum might be the only place I go by Yehuda, and that is because when I started this account I was anonymous.

In my immediate family, it's 50/50 if people go by first or middle.

Not uncommon to be called that way by parents from when they are named.

This isn't really a great example but it makes it even more complicated. There are many named Yehuda alone who go by Leibel too (or maybe more accurately Loebel)

So at birth parents give their child a first and middle name. Then they call this newborn by their middle name and not their first name? What is the logic behind that?

There are a few possibilities. They may name a baby after a grandparent who had 2 names but prefer the second one, they may have mixed together two names and prefer the second one, the second name can be a yiddish nickname for the first name.

I am not seeing that from the mainstream D's. Do you have one example where after her announcement yesterday they are saying she changed to Nikki because it sounds better politically? Or are any of them using her first and middle name when talking about her?
My full name is Yehuda Leib. I go by Leibel. This forum might be the only place I go by Yehuda, and that is because when I started this account I was anonymous.
Bad example as many would not see a difference between Yehuda and Leib.  ;)

Then it is a culture difference. Naming after someone like grandparents would be the middle name or the conformation name.

Sometimes by us too, but mostly entire name. Another case can be when name after someone who died young or had a tragic life where many add a second name and they may prefer the new one.

In my immediate family, it's 50/50 if people go by first or middle.
a very likely factor in that is the common practice of
the second name can be a yiddish nickname for the first name.
which itself is a cultural uniqueness.

So asking questions about another culture is projecting my culture on them?
Have you seen me say anything bad about her name?

He has asked respectfully, he hasn't projected anything.

There is no "first" or "second" name. It's all part of one name. My name is made up of two names. My brother's name is made up of three names. A sister's name is just one name.

2/6 of my siblings went by their middle name since birth.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

IINM that is the case with @Yehuda57's uncle.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
