If you read scientific journals, they have dealt with ASCII names, sometimes with last names in all caps, with the given name.[0]

For example, KANESHIRO, Takeshi, with the names of the authors of a paper.

A better approach is just using whatever name they provide in full. If you need a short name (which is not the case in the original .txt file), ask for one. Just treat names like opaque blobs.
