@not2b@sfba.social @timsk@mastodon.social @jstepien@mastodon.social Oh indeed. As a teen the US hospital that I visited claimed that it had no records on me and/because the admin person REFUSED to type the actual hyphen in my surname ... just in case.
Also, for years, many US sites refused to believe that I do not have a middle name, so I am N/A (or NA or Na I suppose) to them...

@DamonHD@mastodon.social @not2b@sfba.social @jstepien@mastodon.social You remind me of a story my dad told about an American friend called R.B. (I forget the surname). In a desperate attempt to have a form accepted, he wrote what he thought were clearly explanatory notes, but his ID came back in the name of "Ronly Bonly", which still makes me giggle.
