I printed out my online check in boarding passes this morning and was very disturbed to see my name listed as:

SMITH, AMYAMS

How on earth did the United website get a first name of "AMYAMS"???

Took me a few minutes to realize, the second A was my middle initial and the MS - well, that's my "title" - I'm a Ms, not a Miss or Mrs or Mr! Why it's all run together, I have no clue. I also don't know if my other boarding passes have ever printed like that. In the past, no one at gate security has said anything so hopefully they won't this time either.
Happens all the time like that. For some reason I finally had the MR dropped from my name with the boarding pass printout. Either way, the TSA employees have seen everything smashed together thousands of times.
