You know the names, but do you know what that initial stands for? Today’s mental_flosss quiz tests your knowledge of famous people with middle initials. I scored 50%, which is about what I expected. http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/15597

7 out of 12. The Internet is making me stupid, though.
4/12
I got James K. Polk
Susan B. Anthony
Richard M. Nixon
and Homer J. Simpson
only reason I knew Polk was because my family is descended from him, and it's my grandparent's last name.
My wife is from a country/culture where EVERYBODY has a given name and a formal "nickname" with which they are associated for the rest our our lives. Perhaps coincidentally, my wife is one of the only people from her country that any of us has ever met that doesn't have a formal nickname. She's always gone by her complete first name.
