And first names, which causes some government agencies to put FNU in that field for "first name unknown".

My mom told me about a time they had someone with that situation at work, and people would call the person FNU until they were corrected.

Well if you have one name, that's your last name.

    I assume you're making a joke. In any case, no that's not true. Because if it's your first and last name and you type it in both fields, you are now screwed in a different way.
