When my father was in boot camp, the troops were instructed to put their belongings in their footlockers, write their last names and first initials on the container, and report back for inspection.   A few minutes later, the commanding officer, after having seen my father’s locker emblazoned with his last name “Locke” and his first initial “R.” furiously bellowed, “Okay, who’s the wise guy?”      Tod Locke

Using a similar formula... email addresses are often your first initial, followed by your last name.

In a Dilbert cartoon...

"Boss, is there ANY way we can alter my e-mail address?

"NO"... then thinking to himself Boy... that Brenda Utthead sure in a whiner.

A friend on mine had an army buddy named RB Smith.  His legal name was RB.  The folks in payroll wrote him a nasty note indicating that he wouldn't receive a paycheck until he provided his full name as initials were not allowed.  He responded with R only B only Smith.  His next payroll check was made out to Ronly Bonly Smith.

I worked with an old guy whose name was RD Edler.  Boy he would get mad if anyone asked what his name was.  He would tell you his Mom named him RD...."that's all there is and there ain't no more."

I have a friend who has no middle name. Military acronym is,"nmn".  The Chief said that would never do and christned him, middle name  "K". I still call him Alex K.nmn. Baxter. He's used to it now.
