"As with many falsehoods that programmers believe, names have surprising complexity. Although Americans often assume users will have a single “first” and “last” name separated by a space character, this is by no means true around the world. Some last names (“van Hardenberg”) include spaces, as do some first names (“Sher Minn”). Some people have a single name (“Madonna”). In Japan, family names are written first, then given names. For an in-depth treatment of how to correctly handle names, we recommend this enjoyably written W3C guide, but our brief recommendation is that you ask your users how they like to be addressed, and what to call them in a formal context."
