Different countries do things differently. Some have different alphabets, or just additional characters. Some allow middle names as separate from first or family names, while some instead do not not allow middle names, but instead allow multiple first names and/or family names. In some countries its normal to get your mother’s maiden name as a middle name or as a second part of your first name, while other contries again dictate that any and all first names should be commonly recognized as a first name and not easily mistaken as a family name.

Does all this lead to people having different “offical” names in different countries? How do your passports look if name structure or characters aren’t the same in the different countries? Does it make a difference if you were born multinational, or if you obtained it later in life?
