I use a middle initial, to see where my address goes to... Especially wiht online retailers, I know who's been selling my name.
Radio Shack used to ask for name address phone number, first born child and a drop of blood, they did that for years, and it's just recently they stopped that policy, due to customer complaints I'm sure, but I don't know why it took so long.
A lot of regular stores will also ask for a phone number, and to confirm address... (the only thing I will volunteer is Zip code, which is sometimes used as confirmation on the credit card) otherwise -they aren't getting info from me.
