For example, is there anyone with a full name like "David David Smith", where David is the first name and David is also the middle name? Also, I am wondering if there is anyone with a first and middle name that are pronounced exactly the same, but are spelled differently? For example: "Kaitlin Catelynn Johnson".

4I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because there aren't any rules in the English language about what kind of names people can have.– herissonCommented Jun 9, 2019 at 3:31

Some countries have (legal) rules about how a parent can name a child when registering the birth. The UK has only one, that the name must not be "offensive". The refusal of a name by a registrar can be appealed in court. A judge has ruled that parents could not legally name their child "Cyanide", as the name might cause the child harm. The harm, I think, would be mockery and teasing in school and later. New Zealand frowns upon names that are official titles, Judge, Captain, etc. Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina publish lists of ‘acceptable’ names that parents must choose from.– Michael HarveyCommented Jun 9, 2019 at 8:45

And although technically the man's first and middle names were "Charles" and "Edward," everyone knew him as Cow Cow Davenport. Commented Jun 9, 2019 at 4:02

@SvenYargs of course not his actual middle name, just a transcription of "Shao Renleng" in the Ningbo Dialect– FinCommented Jun 9, 2019 at 4:02
