"Programmers should already handle that."

Except they don't. I have a one-word legal name and I have rarely found any online from that allowed me to have less than two names. I realize I'm an edge case, so I just make up something for the other field.

Ironically, I practically begged Google+ to allow me to use my real name, which they require for their "fine dining experience" (<cough>advertisers<cough>), but they refused because it was less than two names and looked fake. They may have finally worked that out by now, I left the building long ago.

I bet you have fun with the TSA.
I don't fly much. When I have, it's a brief conversation with the TSA supervisor, followed by the miracle of flight.
