    The «middle name» is technically not a middle name, it's a patronym, literally meaning «Someone's son» or «Someone's daughter». We don't have actual middle names like Homer J. Simpson.
    But there are double names and double surnames. A rare thing, but not completely unusual.

    My geography teacher is from Bratsk. It's a city located on the Angara river that flows from Baikal lake. The Angara river then flows into Yenisei river. If my teacher saw that you mapped the Angara and the Yenisei as Lena, he'd find you.
    P. S. Angara is the only river flowing from Baikal. Lena starts very close to Baikal but on the other side of the mountain range.

    Me and my friends met four Russians in college, two girls and two boys. I remember the teacher telling some silly joke and all of us laughing a bit except them. Also one of them was this absolute unit of a guy called Simon who was younger than us but bulkier and taller than all of my friends and almost me (I'm 1'95m/6'5fti). They seemed kind of... too serious, specially for us Spaniards but we started hanging with them and we were surprised of how cool and fun they were once we got to know them. We regretted not hanging with them before.
