I knew someone with a one letter first name "J". Most times he would have to put "Jay" as his first name. This caused big problems whenever he booked airlines

This caused big problems whenever he booked airlines tickets as the name on the ticket didn't match his ID.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoWhen my father was born, his parents gave him a normal given name, but endowed his middle initial as only a single letter. They said, when he grew up he could choose whatever name fit that initial. The initial happened to match his father's given name, and when he was old enough, he reliably chose to take that name as his middle name. It is certainly an endearing story of filial devotion, and a distinct lack of finicky SQL databases or web input validation in the 1950s.

- qingcharles 3y agoLives in LA?
- Tommstein 3y agoNope, unless he's moved and I don't know about it (haven't talked to him in a long time). Looks like there may be at least two Js running around!
