Really? Why does no middle name cause hassle?
Lots of forms want a middle initial. She usually uses her maiden name. But sometimes they don't like that because it's not her legal name.
It’s not. I don’t have a middle name and it’s never been a hassle. You either leave it blank, put a dash or write “NMI” for “no middle initial”. You will see the latter on some US government forms.
My brother in Jesus Christos Santa Maria de la Mancha, that’s not true.
Err, I thought his middle name was Fucking. JFC. Isn't it?
Wow, I didn't know I was american just because I have a middle name.
Well that's not true
