Well in latino cultures the second (or “middle”) name is the name
everyone usually calls you by – from family to friends. So that’s not at

As for what to call him going forward, well, that’s anyone’s guess.
Hopefully they’ll actually consult him before making that
determination (unlike what used to be done in the past)…
