Reply to TIL that George "Washington" Carver never formally used Washington as a middle name. He originally chose the middle initial W at random to ensure accurate mail delivery. Someone once asked if the "W" stood for Washington and Carver said "Why not?" He signed his name as George or George W. Carver. by AspireAgain
I had an Indian friend in high school who did not have a middle name. The first time he was forced to include a middle initial on a standardized test, he chose "W." We later decided that it stood for "Wallace."
