Some systems can't handle something as simple as my official given name
which is double, with space between the parts rather than a hyphen. I get
an error because of the space or they just chop off the second half.
Sometimes the system, or people, insert a hyphen in place of the space, or
worse a hyphen between the second half and my surname.

True enough you should make no assumptions about names, neither of people,
places or anything else. Nor about the relative order of zip codes and
place names or house numbers and street names for that matter.
