+<blurb>Middle Names Struggles part 2</blurb>
+<tag>japan</tag>
+
+<p>
+  As I described in a
+  <a href="2024-04-29-japan-move.html">previous post</a>, having a middle name
+  is a bit of a struggle in Japan. This time, when I signed up for a credit
+  card, the credit card company somehow messed up my name really badly. This was
+  relevant because in order to sign up for their online portal, you have to
+  input your name exactly as the credit card company has it recorded.
+</p>
+<p>The way I typically fill out my name is like:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>First Name: Libo my_middle_name</li>
+  <li>Last Name: Zeng</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  I tried a bunch of combinations of this but none of them worked. After a
+  number of hours of this, I gave up and called their help center. They
+  confirmed my details etc and eventually told me they had used the following
+  combination
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>First Name: my_middle_name</li>
+  <li>Last Name: ZengLibo (no spaces naturally)</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  This was truly an unexpected combination that I'd never input. I have no idea
+  how this happened. Just another case of where having a middle name sucks in
+  Japan.
