I once gave very serious consideration to legally changing my first name to
"J" (just the one letter) so that I could mess with such systems, and the
bureacrats who use them. It would have been such a delight... (Boy, it would
have sent the INS people ballistic! :-)
I know a fellow who goes by one name, like Bono or Cher. When he has to
squeeze himself into such databases, he gives his first name as "Mr".
I believe even he has the sense to have the name the Gov't thinks he
uses on his passport, etc., though I don't know.
