Hell, I know a half dozen local people who only have initials and others who sign everything with a nickname. This is incredibly stupid for Florida.

My voter certificate has my middle initial… no, I do not remember why, but I do use the middle-initial form of the name for almost all legal purposes. This difference is enough to get me twice as many jury summonses as people whose names match exactly on the two government lists. No, they can’t fix it; I asked them.

Names or addresses that do not match exactly among various databases are the rule, not the exception. The law that flags such names as suspect for voting purposes is mere partisan thuggery.
