Using "Sean Lockhart" (and omitting the middle names) might have been a better solution for your Dad to choose.
My husband has 4 names - I'll use the names Martin Jason David Smith as an example. For his entire life, he has always been called Jason. However, to comply with requirements for travel, he uses his first and last names - Martin Smith - when booking, so that the booking name is the same as his legal, passport name.
If the booking allows for a longer name, he uses Martin J D Smith.
