On of the UoEd’s schools used to use login names based on initials but

an “x” inserted, so S.... W.... (not me) was “sxw”. It looked odd
when you first saw one - “oh, I didn’t know Steve’s middle name was
Xavier...”

According to DVLA, my middle initial is "9". Yes, the number nine. Driver
numbers are based on your surname plus first and middle initials, but if
you don't have a middle name you get a "9" instead.

Does your driver number end x99xx, where x is a letter? I have two middle
names and thus three initials but my driver number ends with ii9xx where ii
are my first two initials and xx are apparently random letters.
