    The inclusion of a middle initial in formal correspondence is a strong identifier of intelligence ...

That's good news for my ego. Honestly, though, I only include my middle initial because my first and last name combination are surprisingly common.

We intentionally gave our children awesome initials. E.E Clausnitzer and A.A Clausnitzer. Alliteration is good. Plus, their last name is so damn long, might as well give them the option to initialize the prefix.
