* <span id="Fnu Lnu"></span>''Fnu Lnu'' is used by authorities to identify unknown suspects, the name being an [[acronym and initialism|acronym]] for ''First Name Unknown, Last Name Unknown''. If a person's first name is known but not the last, or vice versa, they may be called ''[real name] Lnu'' or ''Fnu [real name]'', and an unidentified person may be ''Fnu Lnu''. For example, a former interpreter for the [[United States]] [[Armed forces|military]] was charged as "FNU LNU",<ref>{{Cite news|first=Shaun |last=Waterman |title=Military interpreter 'used false identity' |url=https://www.upi.com/Defense-News/2005/10/24/Military-interpreter-used-false-identity/96581130164601/ |work=UPI Security & Terrorism |date= 2005-10-24 |access-date=2022-03-09}}</ref> and a [[Muteness|mute]] man whose identity could not be determined was arrested and charged with burglary in [[Harris County, Texas]] under the name "FNU-LNU" (charges were later dropped because authorities could not communicate with the man).<ref>{{Cite news|first=John |last=Makeig |title=Mute suspect nabbed, but identity still at large |work=Houston Chronicle |page=29 |date= 1991-12-28}}</ref> ''Fnu-Lnu'' conjunctions may also be used if the person has only a single name, as in [[Indonesian name]]s. The name has been considered a source of humor when ''Fnu Lnu'' has been mistaken for the actual name of a person.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Nash |first=Bruce M. |display-authors=etal |title=The New Lawyer's Wit and Wisdom |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mQAKrt8kL7cC&q=%22fnu+lnu%22&pg=PA199 |access-date=2008-01-19 |year=2001 |publisher=Running Press |isbn=0762410639 |page=199}}</ref>
