> nobody is forced to accept their name unless they're running a government service I dunno, would you expect that the government should be allowed to dictate how long a person's name can officially be? If yes, then problem solved, nobody may have names longer than X, and all services will accept X. If no, then there has to be a practical limit on name sizes that government services can accept, and people will be unhappy because it doesn't accept their "official" name.
