Do middle names matter?

Hello.

 

I just created my paypal account using my full legal name, which includes two middle names. After I began having problems linking my bank account, I noticed that the name I use at my bank only includes the first of my two middle names.

 

Do middle names matter when linking the bank account? Or am I having some other problem?

The names should match when it comes to bank accounts, you should use what you have on your bank account.

 

There is some wiggle room when it comes to credit cards.  For example, your name may be too long for the permitted number of characters allowed on the card.

That's going to be a problem because all my identification has both my middle names. So the supporting information they need to change the name on the account won't match. Is there any other way I can take off the second middle name off my account?
