I have legally had a one-word name for decades. SS card. Driver license. On credit cards I fake a first initial, same with other DB-enslaved contexts.
Some time after the DHS was invented, SS changed their database systems. Where the SS used to list me as "myname," now I'm listed as "#unk myname."
Since my SS record no longer matched my driver license, when I went to renew my license I was refused, because the DHS tells the states that DL must match SS. That took weeks to sort out, but I did finally get my DL properly renewed, after they found the employee that knew how the DB system works.
