   Pacific Standard magazine: "I.M. Smart: Middle Initials Signal Intelligence"
   http://www.psmag.com/navigation/health-and-behavior/m-smart-middle-initials-signal-intelligence-80374/

   A first-of-its-kind study finds we associate middle initials with intellectual heft.

   "“People’s middle initials have a particular and powerful effect on how people are perceived by others,” argue psychologists Wijnand A.P. Van Tilburg of the University of Southampton and Eric R. Igou of the University of Limerick."

   Lester, I perceive you to be smart, too...:)! I have always been called by my middle name, and feel like my first name is 'just there'. BTW, for some reason, the added suffix adds to the perception of intelligence, as well as sounding like you (anybody 'you') are 'somebody'. :)
