Middle initials alone aren't really very distinctive for authors, but O.K. else wise. Still they can work.
i.e. Ralph Jones
vs Ralph E. Jones for Ralph Edward Jones
and pray that the first Ralph Jones doesn't have a middle name like
Ralph Edwin Jones.
I would instead try:
R.E. Jones
or even better,
R. Edward Jones.
I have a son and his names, First and Last, are the same as mine. We changed the middle name so that he wouldn't be stuck with one of those Roman Numerals after his name.
Where I do have my name (not my fiction pseudo) on the internet I use my first name, middle initial, and last name OR I use my first two initials and last name. My son uses the first name and the last name. (That was his preference. It was also mine, but hey "My son!") It separates us out pretty good.
