BAS ask for my full name quoting section 8 (1) (b) of the FOI Act.

The act actually states :
"8. Request for information.
(1)In this Act any reference to a “request for information” is a reference to such a request which—
(b)states the name of the applicant and an address for correspondence"

I've got nothing to hide so I've given them my full name, however I could legal call myself anything as long as it's not for a fraudulent purpose. I might start going calling myself Raving Joe Bloggs Esquire!
