I've got four names. That, by itself, isn't too much of a problem. But because my father and I share the same first name, I've always gone by the second. Now, whenever I fill out a document, I'm faced with the three-name-blanks dilemma. What do I put where? At various times throughout life I have:

Put all four down, with two names in the "First Name" field

Put all four down, with two names in the "Middle Name" field

Dropped the third name entirely

Dropped the first name entirely

Used First Inititial Second Name in the "First Name" field.

I'm sure I've forgotten other variants.

I'm in so many databases in so many ways that I legitimately have no idea who I am when I talk to any given company!
