"Bummer! The initialize method did not take an argument"

After checking other posts about the same question, it seems like this code should pass, but I must be missing something.

class.rb 
class Name
  def initialize(title, first_name, middle_name, last_name)
    @title = title
    @first_name = first_name
    @middle_name = middle_name
    @last_name = last_name
  end
  def title
     @title
  end

  def first_name
     @first_name
  end

  def middle_name 
     @middle_name
    end

  def last_name
     @last_name
    end
 end

name = Name.new("Mr", "Jason", "", "Seifer")
puts name.title + " " +
name.first_name + " " +
name.middle_name + " " +
name.last_name

Hi Erin,

You have many extra codes which didn't ask by the Challenge questions. We need to follow specific solutions to each question. First name, middle name, and last name was not required to add under initialize method. 

class Name

  def initialize(title)
    @title = title
  end

  def title
    @title
  end

  def first_name
    "Metal"
  end

  def last_name
    "Robot"
  end
end

name = Name.new("Mr")
puts name.title
