> Moreover, people with initials carrying a positive meaning (e.g., H. U. G.) live longer compared with those with initials carrying a negative meaning (e.g., M. A. D.; Christenfeld, Phillips, & Glynn, 1999).

- weinzierl 8y agoMine is NMN. I sometimes put these letters (No Middle Name) into form fields for the middle name even though I have a sufficient number of given names to fill in - just no ”middle name”. That being said, I once heard that the prestige of multiple given names changed several times in Europe. There were times where multiple names were fashionable and times were a single given name was preferred.
