I live in China. According to my bank, my full name is LASTNAMEFIRSTNAMEMIDDLENAME. All caps, no spaces.
When it comes to the amount of ass-pain this can cause, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Sometimes it's funny though. At hospitals, there's an automated system that announces the next person by name (GDPR? Privacy? What's that?). For non-Chinese names, it reads the name letter by letter. So now everyone in earshot knows there's a foreigner around somewhere.
