What Name to use on Credit card

Jayav

If a person has 3 names and only 2 can fit in card, what name to use on card to ensure lounge access both domestically & internationally?
I have a first, middle & last name (example: Shilpa Vishal Kulkarni). I applied for a MC World credit card from Canara Bank & received it yesterday.
It has my first & last name (Shilpa Kulkarni), even though I had requested first & middle names (Shilpa Vishal) since all my non-passport IDs - Aadhar, PAN, Voter have first & middle (Shilpa Vishal) names only.
Only my passport has full name (Shilpa Vishal Kulkarni).
For international flights I use full name and boarding pass gets printed with all 3 names. So I don't have issue then.
But, for domestic - I would NOT like to carry passport. So, should I get my card changed to match my Voter ID which I carry, to get access to lounges? Or, will I be allowed entry if boarding & ID name is - Shilpa Vishal, but card is Shilpa Kulkarni.
Thank you.
PS: There is a limit of 17 letters for name embossing on card.
 
Typically the limit is 20 characters but it also depends on the card issuer. You can check with the issuer.

On a lighter note all the banks will reject the application forget issuing any credit card to Mr. Iyer. See the video
