Names

Our names are strange on our reservations. Our family name is 2 words. EVA has it a one name. We also have 5 given names, that are listed as one REALLY long first name. BUT, one passenger only has 1.5 given names, joined into one. And our infant has a first name of one letter, and a last name as 2 letters.

So... is this normal?

Yes, it’s completely normal and won’t be a problem. Names are mangled all the time.

OK good. Just want to make sure TSA does not throw a fit. Or the airlines tries to charge us more. I have the original booking as proof I entered it right. Everything is spelled right, otherwise. First time with EVA and excited. Thanks you.

My family have weird names, with spaces or with dash in between first name/last name. Says first name is ABC-DEFGHIJ, some times it's appeared as ABCDEFGHIJ or ABC DEFGHIJ or ABCDE. Never have a problem

Given/Middle names are often mashed together. FIRST MIDDLE LAST is often listed on the itinerary as LAST FIRSTMIDDLE. It is expected, so there's no need to worry if that's all it is.

Strange system. Is it a Chinese thing?

One would hope IT is better in the 19060s.
