Nothing wrong with what you're doing. I've never come up with a really
convincing reason to recycle names. Possibly something that follows the
evolution of the data:
middle_name = raw_input ('Name?')
middle_name = middle_name.split()
middle_name = middle_name[1]
It works, but I don't like it enough to actually use it.
