Some online card applications won't work for me, because first name is single letter.

Hi

i am having problems applying online for credit cards with some companies because I have a single letter as my first name. Think G Gordon Liddy or H Ross Perot for example. My 1st name is just one letter and it isn't short for anything.

When I enter my first name into the box it won't let the application go through because it said the first name box must have at least 2 letters!! This has happened to me with Chase applications and others.

What should I do? I can't help it if my first name is just 1 letter. I go by my middle name which is a normal name but unfortunately this is hurting me when I am applying for credit cards.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thx
