I have an 'æ' in my middle name (formally secondary first name because history reasons). Usually I just don't use it, but it's always funny when a payment form instructs me to write my full name exactly as written on my credit card, and then goes on to tell me my name is invalid.
I live in Łódź. Love receiving packages addressed to ??d? :)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Is name validation even possible?
Presumably there aren't any people with control characters in their name, for example.

Often I’ll create a virtual credit card number and use a fake name, and virtually never have had a transaction declined. Even if they are more aggressively asking for a street address, giving just the house number often works. This isn’t a deep cover but gives a little bit of a anonymity for marketing.

When they meet people, they tell them their name is unpronounceable, it’s the sound of a PC speaker from the late 20th century, but you can call them by their preferred nickname “beep”.
In paper and online forms they are probably forced to go by the name “BEL”.
