My daughter is one of those people. Her name is Laura Grace (both family names) and we wanted her to be called Grace or Gracie. But Grace Laura just did not sound right or flow well, so we named her Laura Grace instead, but use her middle name. She did go through a phase in second grade, during which she wrote her name on all her schoolwork as Lauragrace, all one word.

I had a roommate whose first name was Nancy, middle name, Lauren. Everyone always called her Lauren. I remember her bills were addressed to N. Lauren _______.
