I have noticed that throughout my daily life, I rarely hear people called by their full name (including middle name), as well as I never use my own, unless I'm filling out a form. I just think it's interesting that there seem to be a lot of cases where they say the full name including middle name. It seems to be somewhat more prevalent with females, although I could be wrong and these just may be the ones I'm thinking of. I could be wrong, but just thought it was interesting as I observe. I know I have only listed 4, but I'm sure there are more, as it was enough to make me think about posting this:

Tracy Lynn Kirkpatrick
Lisa Marie Kimmel
Annette Kay Schnee
Kari Lynn Nixon

It’s actually “more prevalent with women”, not “more prevalent with females”.

Eaaaaaaaasy there killer.

Breathe.

Eaaaaaaaasy there killer.

Breathe.

It's actually "eaaaaaaaaaasy there person of whom has taken another person's life", not "eaaaaaaaaaaasy there killer".

I asked a friend in law enforcement this question years ago about why all 3 names are often used. His reply was that when reports are filed all 3 names are used and subsequently that's how everyone involved, ie law enforcement and the media, address victims, suspects etc.

It's actually "eaaaaaaaaaasy there person of whom has taken another person's life", not "eaaaaaaaaaaasy there killer".

Actually, it's "eaaaaaaaaaasy there organism of whom has taken another living organism's life," not "eaaaaaaaaaasy there person of whom has taken another person's life."

“Female” is an adjective, not a noun, so it’s incorrect grammar. Plus, “female” has negative connotations, especially within the Black community. The word you’re looking for is woman (or women).

Huh. Merriam Webster seems to disagree that it's "not a noun".

Someone should probably inform Hillary Clinton about the "negative" connotations.

As for the use of middle names for certain females featured on UM, I think it was largely because of how their families referred to them.

I’ve had that Cars dude on my ignore list for years now. Surely he’s not still replying to me, right?

I would imagine using a person's full name helps distinguish them from others with the same first and last name.

Also seems to be a regional thing as well. Johnny Lee Wilson, Billy Ray Hargrove, etc.
