"Bhai" as suffix in Middle Name in Educational Docs

[BugMeNot]

Hey Experts.

I am about to fill out the DS-160 for my B2 Visa. The very first question I got stuck at is "Have you ever used other names?"

Now, all my Documents like my Passport, Birth Certificate, Driving License, Banks, etc have my name as - "RAJ YASH CHOPRA", but my Educational certificates i.e. Class X, Degree, etc. have - "RAJ YASHBHAI CHOPRA"

Here, my Name is RAJ, YASH is my father's name and CHOPRA is our surname. None of my father's documents have his name as "YASHBHAI".

So, it is advisable/mandatory to provide this name as an additional name used and have one person's affidavit OR I can simply ignore this and the officer will understand it? (If I can choose "No" to this question?)

Share your experience and legal opinion as well if possible.

TIA
