I am sorry if my original question was unclear.  Let me give an actual
example that just happens to have two complex problems with middle names.
The proper citation is:
Kendall, C. G. St. C. and Skipwith, P. A. D'E., 1968, Recent algal mats of
a Persian Gulf lagoon: Journal of Sedimentary Petrology, v. 38, p.
1040-1058.
The authors names, as written in the original paper are: Christopher G. St.
C. Kendall and Sir Patrick A. D'E. Skipwith -- note the St. in one and the
D apostrophe E in the other.

EndNote formatting, at least as I have it set up, results in a citation of
the authors as:
Kendall, C. G. S. C. and Skipwith, P. A. d. E., 1968, etc..
While I admit that this is close to being correct, it is not the proper way
to cite either name.  I find it almost impossible to remember all the names
in a database that might require such modification (other than by adding an
arbitrary marker and then editing the final manuscript).
   Am I missing something here?  Is there an easy way around this problem?
Has no one else encountered this?
 Again, thanks for your help.
