Hi Marlene,
I just saw your post today about Nihl Budlong.Nihl was my wife's Grandfather.Regarding Nihl's middle name, the story I remember being told by Florence (his wife) in the 1980s, was that although Nihl was not given a middle name at birth, upon high school graduation, Nihl saw his class-mates all had fancy graduation "name cards" and felt his would look better if it had a middle name.He picked the name Arlington, unfortunately I do not remember any story as to if there was a significance to this name.Let me know if you'd like to share information.
