I remember my dad telling the story of when he first went to work at McDonell Douglas in the early sixties. One of the engineers in his group of hires was a guy by the name of R.B. Jones, yes that was his given name, just letters for first and middle.
Old R. B. had plenty of experience in dealing with his unusual name situation and was so confident about it that when he was filling out his forms for payroll that he did them just as he always had, it never occurred to him to ask anyone what to do.
First Name: R. (only)
Middle Name: B. (only)
Last Name: Jones
Imagine his surprise upon receiving his first paycheck and finding it made out
Pay to the order of - Ronly Bonly Jones!!!
