Does it seem mildly WASPily pretentious when a person styles him- or herself [first letter of first name] [middle name used as first name] [last name]?

Asked by anartist (14808points) July 27th, 2012

Most of the people I have met who do this are one of the following:
1. educated WASPs, and
2. in academe, military officers, or successful businessmen

[except for one black friend who just was not comfortable with his given name “Adolf”]
