my official name (and it reads correct in my passport too) is Rudi Paul Martel.

In the past I got my firstname written by officials (driving license, airline tickets, banking accounts): Ruedi, Rudolf, Rudi-Paul, Rüdi, Rodolfe

also my lastname often shows as Martell (with two 'L' - but I don't get any monney from the brandy family, nor am I a descendant from our national heroe William Tell ...).

but had never a problem to get mileage-credits nor monney from my banking accounts nor difficulties to get rented cars ...
