What's in a name?

A lot of English people have three names:a first name,a middle name and a family name.Their family name comes last.For example,my full name is James Allan Green.Green is my family name.I've two given names.My first name is James,and my middle name Allan.To many people,the meaning of a name is important.My name is James.James means "daiti",and Allan means"hexie".
  people don't use their middle names very much.So "John Henry Brown" is usually "John Brown".People also don't use Mr,Mrs,Ms or Miss before their first names.They usually use them with their last names.We can say John Brown or Mr Brown,but we can never say Mr John.
  I think this is different from Chinese names.In China,the first name is family name,and the last name is the given name.For example,"ZhouJian"puts his family name"Zhou" before his given name "Jian".
  Why do people call me Jim?My name is James,but Jim is short for James.So just call me Jim!
