My Mom does - because she had the same first name as her mother. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure her brother went by his middle name for the same reason (except his first name was the same as their fathers).

But because her middle name (Margaret) is longer than her first name (Mary)she signs her name Mary M. (since that's her real name, and M. Margaret is a lot longer). I thought it was weird that all the clerks at the grocery store always called her Mary, until she explained why.
