FINALLY!!! I understand! My two sisters and I were "victims" of the double given names! Mine is Sandra Kay, and I have spent some forty years trying to explain to banks, and credit cards and the Social Security that I don't have a middle name or an initial, it's a double first name!

Thank you, Geza, for giving me a bit of insight into my parents' (both Hungarian) naming traditions! I just thought they wanted us to have a hard time all our lives. :-)

Good point, why not... But in Hungary we don't call it that way. They are
considered double given names.
