Why do some people go by their middle name instead of their first name?

It’s obviously their choice. And for girls with boyish names, they should have girly middle names to go by.

They like their second name better than their first. Think about it. If your name was Clarence James, wouldn't you prefer to go by C.J. or James?

They like their 2nd name better

Because they are the junior or the 2nd and it avoids confusion

Perhaps they like their middle names better than their first names?
