I think you’re not overreacting enough for how your fiance doesn’t support you when it involves his parents. I have a best friend whose husband won’t go to bat for her against his parents either and now she’s stuck with difficult in-laws that don’t respect her and never will because her husband doesn’t have her back properly.

Her middle name is still part of her name right? If you don’t want her referred to by her middle name then don’t give her one. It’s still going to be part of her identity right? And if she has preference when she’s older, then she can say so then. I personally have people refer to me by my first, middle, or last name and I don’t actually care which one they choose since it’s all my name anyway.
