Newspapers try to use middle names for infamous people so that innocent people with the same first and last name don't get mistaken for the bad guys.
I looked on a social security death index,
http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi
Lee Oswald: 4 people
John Booth: 473 people
Mark Chapman: 22 people
I've seen serial killers with 3 names for the same reason. On a minor note, whenever our newspaper publishes the names of men picked up in a hooker sting (A lady deputy sheriff dresses up like a hooker and they arrest all the men who offer her money for sex), they use all three names.

Are you saying there is a connection between names and mental dysfunction?
Possibly some sort of psychological condition, such as identity crisis or dual personality disorder ?
Maybe it's that the assasins don't really know their true self, because they can use different names in different social circles, or mabye they create a different personality for each name ?
One personality is an upstanding member of society, the other a cold blooded killer.

The media uses it, to there advantage. If they use 3 names, it helps them know its an assin(sp)
if they use just first and last name of someone its a serial killer. Im sure im not explaining this 100% correctly, but hopefully you will get the just of... it has to do with media.

Only successful assasins? hah, well i suppose there could be some inkling of a connection related to some psychological glitch but I think a strong argument could be made against this. Citing only 3 examples doesn't warrant a whole lot of consideration.

John Wayne Gacy has 3 names and is a serial killer.
So, that theory is not always true.
