I have a cousin who has initials only for his name (W J). When he went into the military, they gave him a name for the initials for their records. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

And I imagine we've all heard the one about the recruit, R. B. Jones, who enlisted and finally convinced the authorities that he had no names, only initials So whoever was doing his paperwork entered R. (only) B. (only) Jones . . . and of course for his entire military career he was stuck with the name Ronly Bonly Jones . . .
