But I like my middle names. 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, -- osfameronThere's stuff above here
