Yes I realised but I still don't see the relevance of a timezone to the
format of someone's name.
I'm Jeremy C. B. Nicoll, regardless of what timezone I'm in. I usually
don't bother with initials though - too pretentious - but by no means
always. In most cases official correspondence to me only recognises one
initial so here in the UK I'm often addressed as: "Jeremy C. Nicoll".

I don't agree. I don't see the name format as exclusively US at all.

I had a quick look at people's names elsewhere, and found some others.
