My dad was a paymaster for the Marine Corps during WWII. He said that there
was a story going around that some poor jarhead only had initials for his
first and last name. He kept getting his paperwork back with notes like
"need full first and middle name before we pay you" so he wrote R.(only) B.
(only) Jones on the form and sent it back in.

He was paid as Ronly Bonly Jones for the rest of the war.
