I was tempted to go with a single name when I was forced to legally change my full name to meet ID requirements for a driver's license. My birth certificate name is patterned like Andrew Bruce-Carlos Denis-Edward Fatherson. After my parents split, I had many variations. E.g. school knowing me as Andrew Charles Motherson, my bank as Andrew Bruce Motherson, etc. Every official document was something different, so I had an official change to get the most common variants in a close-enough form that still fits on most forms, i.e. Andrew Bruce Carlos Motherson. It still feels like a missed opportunity to go as simple as possible, and shed some family baggage.
