I'm certain other people have similar "oddities" with their names, do they have trouble with "official" agencies?
*Unless his first name is R. and middle name is H.?
Ugh. Welcome to the story of my life.

I'm officially an "R Jason" - no, it's not short for anything, it's just R.

Years ago, US passport computers couldn't handle a one letter name, nor multiple names, nor spaces. My first passport actually listed my name as "RJASON" They've since, fortunately, solved this.
