I've noticed something. Loads of American names have an initial in the
middle, like Raymond E Feist, Kathlyn S Starbuck and even our own David E
Bell. Whereas over here we don't do this. Generally we just ignore our
middle names, and consequently a random letter in the middle of the name
looks weird to me. To me Daniel B Jones looks slightly pretentious. So, a
question for you over on the other side of the pond, why do you do it?
