I'll note that as someone with two middle initials I've more than once had problems doing business in the USA - with large companies. One US bank that I use requires one middle initial and that my home bank account be in exactly the same name in order to be able to transfer money, so I ended up changing my home bacnk account to have an "alias" in the end. Hence, allow zero or more middle initial elements. But you know, you should trust people to enter their names. They know the rules for them better than you do, even if you don't want to do business with e.e. cummings or people from countries where lower case or an apostrophe or an accented character might start a name.
