I think the point is not to use your middle name. Middle names are irrelevant and will only cause problems in respect to your FFP. I know travel agents always stress to get your FULL name and the EXACT spelling but that is hysteria; I never use my middle name in flight bookings or in my FFP and have never, ever encountered a problem (and I fly a lot...)
