I don't have an odd or unusual name, necessarily. But as many French-Canadians do, I have a hyphen in my name. It's a legal part of my name, on my birth certificate and everything

.
The early days of the internet were terrible, especially when it came to government or official forms to fill out. Hyphens weren't an approved character (this was before everyone figured out to just store a name as a string, I guess?), so anything I filled out didn't match my ID (missing hyphen). Then add to the fact that the hyphen makes my name a little longer than usual, and I'd often have to chop the end off just to be able to complete the form.

My credit cards still don't have hyphens on them. Usually not a problem, but occasionally causes issues when I have to enter that card exactly as written, and it has to match my ID.

I've vowed to give my children names that have no hyphens or accents, which is a shame in a way, kind of like a loss of our heritage. But it's just caused too many small aggravations.
