@MyView yes, she used a longer form of that name. I've run into the middle name thing before, I've got two of them, much US-based software used to insist on mandatory one middle initial - VISA cards still do. Friend at uni (jane smith) had no middle name so had a student ID card that was name based as "jxsNNN" where x stood for bad software

Funny things about names ... I've been doing a lot of historical research and found it difficult to trace some people because they either didn't like their first name so used the middle one, or to differentiate from their father with the same name ...

And really confusing when families traditionally called their first born son after the father ... for generations ...

Even harder when a name can be shortened and no idea if Great Uncle Bert was Herbert, Albert, Bertram, Hubert, Gilbert, Robert ...
