But I have a question, also, about this name thing. My license is first, full middle, last. My passport is first, full middle, last. But most airlines (AA included) either want NO middle or just M.I. What are you supposed to do then? Just go on booking tickets that are different from your license or your passport?
I don't see the problem. It is ok if the ticket doesn't have your middle name or middle initial. The problem would be if the ticket had a name that wasn't on your ID. So, don't go adding a middle name to the ticket if your ID doesn't show a middle name. For the family with the same first names, I would book one with just the first name and the other with the first name and middle initial.
