You won't be the first and you certainly won't be the last. People on these blacklists will discover, sooner or later, that a variation of their name -- including insertions/deletions/abbreviations of first, middle, last names or order-switching -- is a workaround. (Apparently, gender distinguishing titles, such as Mr. or Mrs., are not necessarily a "workaround".) Not surprisingly, such a "workaround" is the one that the FBI, State (when it impacted diplomats) and airlines have been suggesting on a piece-meal basis.
