    My mother (American) has no middle name and it causes her no end of bureaucratic bother.

      Really? Why does no middle name cause hassle?

        Lots of forms want a middle initial. She usually uses her maiden name. But sometimes they don’t like that because it’s not her legal name.

        It’s not. I don’t have a middle name and it’s never been a hassle. You either leave it blank, put a dash or write “NMI” for “no middle initial”. You will see the latter on some US government forms.
