That's just being a jerk because you can.

Almost a shame he didn't have to deal with a family at my school. (There were a lot of them. ETA: Not all from the same *nuclear* family - cousins and things.) The family was from the Philippines, I think it was, and had some seriously Catholic traditions, so every girl in the family had the first name Maria.

Unsurprisingly, they went by their middle names, because those were actually different.
