You've probably gone by your middle name longer and it's the name the people closest to you use for you.
This reminds me of a story the British comedian Frank Skinner told about his early days of fame. He's really called Christopher Graham Collins and he "borrowed" the stage name Frank Skinner from a friend of his dad. Where he's from, it's common for family to use the middle name for children.
Anyway, he tells the story of how someone knocked on his parent's door (he still lived at home) looking for "Frank Skinner". His mum answered the door and the following conversation ensued:
Fan: Does Frank Skinner live here?
Mum: Frank? Oh, you mean Chris *shouts upstairs* Graham, it's for you!
Is it normal that I react stronger to my middle name than my first?
