My previous boss had a single letter last name. Turns out most airline ticketing system have a 3 letter minimum so he just entered his single character name 3 times to purchase the ticket. But this meant that every single time he got to the airport he would get stopped because his ticket didn't match his passport.

People named Null also have a hard time: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20160325-the-names-that-brea...
