I just checked and his actual name is Peter Brian Hegseth.

It looks ridiculous that the sign only has his nickname.

Putting his real name like this on the sign would at least make him seem like an adult:

Peter B. Hegseth

I guess we should be glad for the sloppy execution, it helps future generations to identify these dipshits.

Well, they're using his preferred name rather than birth name... they wouldn't prevent anyone else the same courtesy, would they?

I have been in several situations where preferred names are not permited in official documentations.

In those engagements you are introduced with your full name, but are welcome to ask participants to use your preferred name.

It just can't be on official documentations
