what's your middle name?

Someone once told me that you should try to learn something new every day.
With this in mind, each day of 2012 I will try to discover the middle name of someone I do not know.
This blog charts my progress.

Frederick

A middle-aged couple ask the way to Camberwell Church Street.  They are each pulling suitcases made of plastic on wheels.  The man has short grey hair and appears well-groomed.  I point them in the direction and ask my question.

 It is noisy so the man has to direct his ear towards my mouth.  When he has understood, he gives me an answer.  He is from Austria.  I thank him.  'If I will have been of any help to you', he says. 'then fine'.  They wheel their suitcases onwards towards their destination.
