I once fucked up with this while enrolling for my bachelor’s degree. To me name implies the full name, with last name and any other names and words in between. So I put <first name> <last name> there (I have no second names etc). Then I had to separately enter my last name, which was weird but okay, I guess that’s relevant info that can’t always easily be extracted from the full name.
Of course, I then got a letter with “Dear <first name> <last name> <last name>,”. It became a meme in my friend group that my name is basically my first name followed by infinite repetitions of my last name. And I haven’t really learnt from it either, it has happened at least once more because I will always interpret “name” as full name.
