Hi :) First and last names only. Sometimes only the initial for the first name. Seldom get asked for middle initial let alone middle name. Guess there are fewer of us in the UK. Hmmm, actually rarely get asked for name at all. Usually Date-of-Birth or National Insurance Number is used to identify people. (I'm not a number. I'm a free man.) Regards from Tom :)
