I am registering to take PADI Divemaster and wondering which name to use. I always use my middle and last name. All my certification cards are that way but all my legal documents are in first, middle and last name. Is it okay to use just my middle and last name or will there problems not having my first name on my divemaster account?
 
If you call PADI you will have a definitive answer in a few minutes.
 
I have the same situation, I gave my preferred name as first name and other as initial. 20 years no problems.
 
How about: "A. William Smith?"
 
I'm not expert and it probably doesn't matter much. I used the name that I put on my tax returns because when I was a working DM I had a couple of work-related deductions.
 
Just use your preferred name. No one cares
