The new regulations which became effective 09-24-07 now requires that all documents pertaining to importation of hunting trophies must carry your full given name.

50CFR Part 23.23 C
10) Name and address The complete name and address, including country, of the exporter and importer.

If you hold a U.S. Import permit for Leopard or Bontebok the Export Permit from overseas must match the name on your import permit.

I believe Fish and Wildlife will consider your first given name, middle initial, and last name to meet their requirement.

I have been preaching this for years in seminars but it finally took FWS to come to this conclusion when they started seeing too many "nicknames" on documents and confusion on paperwork for multi-generational family members with the same name and no Sr., Jr., II, III, etc. indicated.

Thanks for the clarification.
