FNU is always an interesting one.

Apparently, It means “First Name Unknown” and is present in legal documentation.

Some Indians are so fucking stupid they don’t know their own first name. And our government is so fucking stupid they just accept that as reality.

"The assignment of an “unknown” identity label is not just a practice from the distant past. Today, many migrants from Asian countries coming to the United States are involuntarily given the enigmatic name “FNU” on their U.S. visa. As an acronym, “FNU” means “First Name Unknown” and is assigned to U.S. visa applicants whose countries of origin follow the mononym practice—meaning they don’t have a separate surname or a first name. These countries predominantly include those in South and Central Asia, such as Bhutan, Indonesia, Tibet, Afghanistan, and India."

Interesting. I still see them pretty often. Seems stupid to me, but I’m not in the government.

Like, what would you call out to that person on the street in their home country to get their attention? Everyone has a first name in some form or fashion.
