  • Oh, you would suffer here in Brazil too, we have no concept of middle names, every name is either a given name or family name.

    I was surprised too! Keeping only 2 of my 5 names and saying that is ok felt weird but was quite convenient haha and felt a bit xenophobic too ngl, western names seemed to have no value to them when compared to japanese ones!



  • Funnily enough, this is an issue for me everywhere BUT Japan. I have 5 names, 2 first names and 3 family names, so I run out of space with most forms. But the thing is that I’m half Japanese and when I was in Japan they would just let me ignore my other names and write only my Japanese ones, one of my first names is Japanese and one of my family names too. For example: when my name didn’t fit in my flight ticket, they just told me to write only my Japanese name and throw away the rest lol
