Yes, that is true as well. But you know, remember the days before zip codes?
Now we have to contend with 5 extra didgits AND now they are pushing for the
extension as well. So it is possible. Even if one name is an initial (that
should start a conversation! Which one will it be??)

We use a fairly popular in the US anyway system of the wife adopting her
maiden name as a middle name when marrying. Her former middle name is
dropped. So Sue Kirkwood became Sue Kirkwood Vigil. Her legal signature is
Susan K. Vigil. Anyone checking her lines would be able to tie into her
genealogy. Perhaps there is no end to the possible variations on this topic!
