My first name is commonly (ie always) shortened to Hakim.  My mum who knew the 
convention of underlining the common name did this on my birth certificate, but 
the registrars assumed this meant it had to be split to 2 names.  On the few 
really official documents (passport, mortgage etc.) where I have the whole thing 
registered, it looks like Hakim is my middle name, and my first name is the 
prefix "Abdel".

Luckily, in Britain there's no central registration so on all my other details, 
even bank accounts, this isn't a problem,
