Latvian names, like in most European cultures, consist of two main elements: the given name ("vārds") followed by family name ("uzvārds").
 During the Soviet occupation (1940 - 1991) the practice of giving a middle name was discouraged, but since the restoration of Independence Latvian legislation again allows giving of up to two given names and it has become more common to give a middle name to children.
Singh is a title, middle name or surname, which originated in India.
 Derived from the Sanskrit word for lion, it was adopted as a title by certain warrior castes in India.

 As a surname or a middle name, it is now found throughout the Indian subcontinent and among the Indian diaspora, cutting across communities and religious groups, becoming more of a title than a surname.

Jeff Strabone is a Brooklyn-based American scholar, political activist and civic leader.
 In 2016, his website "directelection.org" listed the names and addresses of members of the U.S. Electoral College, and he urged people to write to electors to ask them not to vote for president-elect Donald Trump, an effort which brought him national attention.

 He has been a leader of Brooklyn's Cobble Hill Association, a neighborhood preservation group.
 He is the co-founder and chairman of the New Brooklyn Theatre.

 He commented about the post-election effort:
In several cultures, people's names usually include one or more names in addition to the portion that is usually considered adequate to identify them.
 In a number of cultures where a given name is expected to precede the surname, such a name is likely to be placed after the given name and before the surname, and thus called a middle name.
 In English-speaking American culture, that term is often applied (arguably mistakenly) to names, occupying that position, even if the bearer would insist that that name is being mistakenly called a "middle name", and is actually (to mention several types of atypical cases):
