I never thought of the AR part of USAR like that -- but you could be
right:-}}

Our state department of motor vehicles and the US State Department have
similar hangups.  Both of them want your FULL name.  Then when you
travel, you have to make your reservation in the same name as your
picture ID -- which comes from one of those.

Another anomaly:  Almost all Americans have a first name, a middle name
and a surname.  Consequently, all forms are designed for that limited
pattern.  There are many people who have no middle name or who have more
than two given names.  I saw that when we lived in England.  One of the
men I knew went by initials to his four given names plus his surname.
I've also heard that some people in the Spanish culture (e.g. in Mexico)
often have a long string of names.
