                In some languages, initials may consist of more than one letter, e.g., &quot;Ph&quot;
               could stand for &quot;Philippe&quot; or &quot;Th&quot; For &quot;Thomas&quot;.

                           Usage Notes: In general, the english &quot;middle name&quot;
               concept is all of the given names after the first. This qualifier may be used to explicitly
               indicate which given names are considered to be middle names. The middle name qualifier
               may also be used with family names. This is a Scandinavian use case, matching the concept
               of &quot;mellomnavn&quot;,&quot;mellannamn&quot;. Note that there are specific rules that
               indicate what names may be taken as a mellannamn in different Scandinavian countries.

                           Description: Medication Name Parts are a means of specifying
               a range of acceptable &quot;official&quot; forms of the name of a product.  They are used
               as patterns against which input name strings may be matched for automatic identification
               of products from input text reports.   While they cover the concepts held under &quot;doseForm&quot;
               or &quot;route&quot; or &quot;strength&quot; the name parts are not the same and do not
               fit into a controlled vocabulary in the same way. By specifying up to 8 name parts a much
               larger range of possible names can be generated.
