Where I grew up in North Carolina, and by family origin, in Richmond VA, it was called breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, if we visited people who lived in the rural farming areas, they called it breakfast, dinner, and supper. It seems to have something to do with when your LARGEST meal was taken; for us the heaviest meal was at night, but in the country it was after noon so you could get back to the heavy work after you were well nourished.
