My DL has my middle name...my BP does not. No issues. I have not 'registered' for SF with my airline. No issues.
Well it's good to know that registration isn't required at this point. But, assuming it is someday, is there something wrong with just using my middle and last names? Both those names are on my drivers license and passport. But those documents also have my first name, which doesn't appear on much else. Any problems?
