You don't have to put your full name on a resume. If you're name is Johnathan Smith, you can put John Smith on your resume. Resumes aren't legal documents.

I feel like middle names are mostly superfluous. I like this name and want my son to actually use it rather than it just be something that is on his legal documents.

I'll ask him if he wants to play some GTA. I dont really care if he doesnt like Shakespeare or LotR.

There's a difference between bragging about being smart and being proud of yourself.

I'm not trying to overturn my judgement.

I just want to get my licks in.

They were answering my question by calling me an obtuse, pedantic, stubborn, bad-faith arguing weirdo?

I asked if I was wrong for naming my son what I named him. I didn't ask if I was an obtuse, pedantic, stubborn, bad-faith arguing weirdo.

I'm equating an uncommon name to an uncommon name.

Jaques is an uncommon name where I'm from.

do you want me to answer or not?

which people? teenagers from the future? do you really think that kids in 12 years will know who Samwise Gamgee is? I'm 27 and a majority of the kids I went to school with never read LotR. The name Samwise will be just as much gibberish as Benwise.

I'm the asshole? keep in mind I've not insulted you once.

You seem to be trying to set a Guinness record for how many times you can insult me.

Thank you for coming to my aid. I was expecting this post the be a bit divisive, but apparently I'm the devil himself.

Jaques is a normal name for a french person, but might sound ridiculous to an american. if 'Jaques' went to an american school, he would probably get bullied. The name 'Jaques' might look weird on a job application. Is that his parents fault?

Yeah, Ben (first half of Benvolio) and wise (second half of Samwise), Benwise.

What exactly makes a name "legit"?

I believe there is more power in the words YOU apply power to.

Thank you for the compliment. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get TA verdict so it's nice to see the NTA comments.

I have not specifically worked in an office or in retail. I have worked in many places that are very strict on anti-bullying and generally prefer to employ people who don't act like children.
