I believe that the TSA requirement is that the name on the ID presented must exactly match the name of the ticketed passenger. Sometimes you can run into an agent who will enforce it and potentially deny boarding.
Also can help some families manage itineraries where a child and parent may share the same first and last name.

Yeah, that's the thing. We have one kid with too long of a middle name to enter into Westjet's booking system. So leave it off all together or truncate it ourselves and potentially make a bigger mess of it. It seems like if the passport matches API data and the ticket is associated with the correct passport number, then what's the problem?
