I'm with you, but why stop at one character? Why not zero. My entire legal name is a single word. Is it my first name? My last name? Where it matters, I use it

I'm with you, but why stop at one character? Why not zero. My entire legal name is a single word. Is it my first name? My last name? Where it matters, I use it as a last name, for consistent sorting and searching. I attempt to use nothing for the first name, and I rarely succeed. Once in awhile I'll use Name Name, like Amorymeltzer's professor.
If there was a group dedicated to this issue, they might call themselves the Harry S Truman society. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_S._Truman#Early_life_and_career https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_S._Truman#Early_life_and...
- greenyoda 11y ago"The 'S' [in 'Harry S Truman'] did not stand for anything, a common practice among the Scots-Irish ..." Neither of my parents (who were born in central Europe) had a middle name at all. The fact that middle names are optional (can be zero characters long) does seem to be recognized by people who create forms asking for full names. I never provide mine, and nobody complains.
