The ICO have said at least a surname is required:
"We consider that a relatively informal approach is also appropriate in this context. Therefore, title and/or first name with surname satisfies the
requirement for provision of a real name, as does the use by a female applicant of her maiden name. The prime consideration is whether enough of a person’s full name has been provided to give a reasonable indication of that person’s identity."
