Friend of mine has a similar name related problem...
His first name is Jim. Not James. Jim.
He goes through life having to correct every "official" person who tries to insist "No, we need your FULL legal name, it's James, right?" "No... my FULL LEGAL FIRST NAME, right here on my birth certificate, is Jim"
Back to the OP;
That is a mind bogglingly stupid web site...
After all, the 5-digit zip code system, and software for it, isn't exactly NEW...
The minimum character limit for names is at least a LITTLE understandable. Having dealt with some School Information Systems, I can say regarding names; someone will always come along with a name that challenges any hard-coded "limit" - short names, long names, names with hyphens, names with apostrope's, names with a capital letter in the middle, or at the end, or whatever.
