What are middle names for?

Middle names have historically been used to commemorate a family or another person, most notably a godparent, or even a completely unrelated person, such as a prominent figure in the community or nation.

While middle names have been around for a long time, they were first used in ancient Rome, when Roman males were given a cognomen (or middle name) that signified which branch of the family they belonged to.

Today, they are more about experimenting with different, amusing names, or simply putting in a name that you enjoy using.
