Maybe this is not new to many people, but I thought it was really interesting when I found out that in Russia, the middle name comes from the fathers first name, but has a different ending for male and female. I forgot what the endings are. Here, the middle name is just another name added to the title, like Sarah Ann, or Betty Carol, or Jenna Leigh. I guesse it makes more sence to do the middle names like in Russia. Here, middle names are kindof pointless in my opinion, but it doesn't seem that way in Russia since the fathers first name is used.
