When issuing the birth certificate, the guidance used to be to laminate it. Now, this guidance has been changed.
If you are a child, beware as when applying for a Russian internal passport this needs to be stamped. I had this issue today. I had to cut a bit of the laminate off so it could be stamped. The need for the birth certificate is eliminated when you ...

The actual regulation doesn't say that the I-94 must be valid, but that the period of stay indicated on the I-94 must be unexpired. That's the reason for the parenthetical mention "unexpired" in the quoted text. 22 CFR 41.112(d)(2)(i) says that the program is available to one who
Is in possession of a Form I-94, Arrival-Departure Record, endorsed by DHS ...

Turkish and EU, along with Liechtestein and Swiss citizens (as revealed to me by the police at Ercan Airport - the MFA website isn't fully correct in other words), can use ID cards for short-term visits.

It's not about the airline, but the ground handling agent. All of them are supposed to use IATA's TIMATIC database to verify documents, which states:
Passport Exemptions: - Passengers with a Permanent Resident/Resident Alien Card (Form I-551).
However, you may well have to somehow force the staff to actually check TIMATIC, as some lazy employees will ...

My ID was always checked before boarding at Pembroke Dock as a bus passenger and randomly as a car passenger at Rosslare. It seems to depend on the mood of the staff and how busy they are. I have not got a passport yet , but no doubt will ...

If your first and two middle names are printed under ‘Given names’ in your passport, and you are asked to provide ‘Given name(s)’ not ‘First name’, you should include all three.
Example: I just applied for an ESTA. I have a first and middle name (I’m known by my middle, not first, name), and my passport shows both names under ‘Given names’ and in the ...

"my First name only into the Given Name(s) field"
If it asked for "first name" a single name might be acceptable. But it didn't.
Notice the "(s)". That means that there can be more than one name.
Notice the "Given", that means all but your family name, which was inherited not given.
The form didn't ask for "First name"; it asked for "Given name(s)".

A: given (first) name
B: middle name 1 (or second first name)
C: middle name 2 (or third first name)

Your title question is answered by your question itself: you consider your middle names as middle names, and not as your first name. Thus, I would complete applications so as to track your passport names as closely as possible.
In my culture, it'd go like this:
A = given (first) name
B = middle name #1
C = middle name #2
D = family/surname
Like this:
