I'm thinking of a name...
I'm seen in the middle - though I finish later
Split and I could be an agreement from a Vater
I'm 5/12 in a calendar
Split again and I'm a different nickname with a preposition
What is the name?
HINT:
The 5/12 isn't a date

1$\begingroup$ NOTE: OP's profile lists home country as England. So if you're translating 5/12 as a date, it's Dec. 5, not May 12. $\endgroup$– Chris CudmoreCommented Apr 15, 2016 at 18:00

1$\begingroup$ @ChrisCudmore don't worry - that clue isn't a date. (BIG HINT) $\endgroup$– Beastly GerbilCommented Apr 15, 2016 at 18:01

$\begingroup$ Or Winter, in the southern hemisphere. Associating months with seasons is bad :/ $\endgroup$– ffaoCommented Apr 15, 2016 at 19:00

The answer is
JASON
I'm seen in the middle - though I finish later
In calendar, month July to November spell JASON. So starts in the middle of the year, but finishes 5 months later.
Split and I could be an agreement from a Vater
JA is yes in German, and SON
5/12 in Calendar
jfmamj-JASON-d - the first letters of the 12 months have jason in it
different nickname with a preposition
JAS nickname for James and the preposition in ON

$\begingroup$ I think JAS (Jayce) is a BRO-ish nickname for Jason. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 15, 2016 at 18:24

1$\begingroup$ Umm. N is still autumn. Your original wording was correct. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 15, 2016 at 18:29

2$\begingroup$ Something wrong here. While I agree that the answer is correct, July is summer, and November is still Autumn. Even if we go Southern Hemisphere, then the start is winter and the end is spring. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 15, 2016 at 18:44

I'm seen in Autumn - though I finish later

Partial answer:
St Nicholas
I'm seen in Autumn - though I finish later
St. Nicholas eve is Dec. 5, still autumn, but he finishes up on Dec. 24th.

All I'm getting is the German reference.
I'm 5/12 in a calendar
St. Nicholas eve.
Split again and I'm a different nickname with a preposition
No clue. Lets play around with different names of Santa.
