This is for my "Language and Culture" class, I am looking at double names.

The focus on this is in the southeast, but anyone with a double name from really anywhere will work for this (I have done my best to make it applicable to any double name spelled in the English alphabet).

I want to know what sort of experiences we have.

For clarification: I have a double name and live in the southeast. For many reasons, I don't go by it. I know many people with double names who have interesting relationships with their name, what they want to be called, and what people actually call them. I am hoping to get more information about this relationship we have.
