Actually, my only given name is my mother's third name (yes, three given names - my grandparents must have been slightly insane to burden both their children like that), but the only one she ever used. She hated having three names so much that she gave me only one, the shortest at all.
Now, given the fact that both my name and my surname contain 3 letters only, you can imagine the awkward silence when I introduce myself and people are waiting patiently for me to say something else. And I'm like "no, sorry, that's all the name that I can offer". *g*
Of course, when I have to sign all those certificates and stuff, a really short name comes in handy.
