DD is two and just this past weekend I've been calling her by her full name (for no reason, just for fun) and she seemed so clueless about her middle and last name (naturally, since no one ever calls her by anything other than her first name).
I asked her this morning what her name was and she only said her first name. 
Does your toddler know his/her full name?

She is slowly learning it. Even though we use her middle name a lot, she still won't say it.
She does know our first names though which I feel like a lot of kids don't get until later (aka mom has a name other than mom)

He knows his first name, his last name, I have no idea! He also calls my husband and I by our first names every once in a while, lol. It is largely because my parents address us with our names, and he hears it from them.

@T.H.O.U.: Oh yes! When DD is trying to get my (or DH's) attention but gets no response, she resorts to yelling out our first names! Sheesh!

@looch: haha, DS sometimes calls us by our first names too and it is so funny!
He knows first and last, but I don't think he know his middle name. We rarely use it.

Lala knows all four of her names and her address. M just knows her first name... but that only started this weekend, so I'm very proud!

B has known his since 2.5 (well, his nn and last name). By 3.5, he finally remembered his full name and address.

Lorelei is 18 months and knows her full name; first, middle, and last. But she usually calls herself "Lita" rather than Lorelei because I started calling her that and it stuck (first I called her Lorelita, and then Lita-Lita Coralee or Lita-Lita Cora-lita). Ellie is still shaky on our address, though we've been working on it for a long time. She does know our phone number, though.

No, she barely even knows her full name, since we rarely use it. We'll be teaching her her full name and my phone number in the near future, though.

Well, she knows her English and Korean name. She also says her full English name since that's what I call her when she's naughty.
Now, when she's upset with me she'll call me "umma, her middle, last!" haha.
We have a long last name so it's cute hearing her say it.

@chopsuey: I just tried saying "umma, her middle, last" and it's a mouthful! Such a smartie for remembering it all!

@Rubies: HA it is! Omg whenever I get new emails in my inbox I get nervous that one will be from you saying you're in labor!

When asked what his name is, LO will respond, "middle last name." I have to remind him to add his first name too. He just learned a few weeks ago, and he is 2.5 years old.

This thread inspired me to teach him! Now he knows. It's amazing how quick he is these days.

2.5 and knows his first name only. And only because school taught it to him.
