Names on bank accounts
I am one of those who prefer my middle name and only ever use my first name on official stuff as I have not been arsed to get it changed by deed poll (plus did not want to confuse DIMIA once application was started) 
My bank accounts in UK are in my middle name (done in the days when they acepted handwritten SU cards as ID
). Have others in the same situation been able to open Australian bank accounts using their middle name?
(Aware of the point system on IDs - do have marriage cert that states name x y z, known as y z)
