I remember reading an anecdote in the Reader's Digest many years ago about a man who had only initials (R. B.) instead of a name. He got a job for some governmental agency and was filling out the required forms and put his name as R. B. Jones. The form was returned with instructions not to use initials but to use his entire name. He filled it out thusly, R.(only) B. (only) and resubmitted it. When he got his first paycheck it was made out to Ronly Bonly Jones.
