That's odd. Considering how difficult most other names are in the world, I would think that they would be glad to just accept a simple name for once... Why would they purposefully make things harder?

Because they can? Most people think I just go by a shorter version of my name most people with long names shorten them. Michael to Mike Jennifer to Jen. But my name on my birth certificate is simplify Sue. And I often have to prove that!
