You know anyone with only initials for a given name?

I found this interesting

My Dad was named "E.J" after I don't remember, his two grandfathers or something. But he had an actual middle name. This caused him all sorts of grief in early life......teachers thought he was being "smart" on the first day of class, and the Army of course, wants your "first, last, and middle initial". So the army tried to turn his middle name into his first name.

I ran into an old concert of "The Highwaymen" and happened to look up Johny Cash. Wiki claims this:

At birth, Cash was named J. R. Cash.[23] When Cash enlisted in the United States Air Force, he was not permitted to use initials as a first name[citation needed], so he changed his name to John R. Cash. In 1955, when signing with Sun Records, he took Johnny Cash as his stage name

So by the time Johnny inlisted, it was even further 'worse' for guys like my Dad.

back in the 90's I serviced a site where K Jenkins worked.

That was her legal name.

In her 50's and and not bad looking at all.

Liked to wear semi-see through tops and black bras.

My dads name was L'Roy. I never figured it out. We just called him Gene.

No, but my father in law's middle name is "F". That's all.

My grand father's middle name was A. always said it stood for alphabet. Never new him by any other.

IIRC, J D Hill of the Cowboys in the 70's had neither first nor middle name.

OK. I'll help. Yes my uncle is N.S. Doesn't stand for anything per the rest of the family.

 

[67Dart273]

So his first name is N.S.? or first and middle? What kind of problems did he have in school, the military, etc?

 

[my5thmopar]

From what I gather NS first and nmi.. I think he was Army about 55-60. Never really discussed, he was just known as NS.
