I have 4 names (two first names and two surnames), pretty common thing in my country. But I've had issues several times when flying because they assume it's two different people? How stupid is that?

I have one airline that just tacked my middle name (which I basically never use) directly onto my first name for my account. It's never been an issue so I haven't ever gone to the trouble of correcting it but it means I always have the "wrong" first name on my tickets relative to my official IDs.

Yeah, why aren't names quoted in these systems? It seems that this Null problem is specific example of failure to quote strings properly.

What about last names like "da Silva"?
