We clearly need to phase out name-based identification within software. "What's your name?" should never be a question heard from workers as any means of locating one's official identity in any system.

Some form of biometrics to pull up an ID in a globally agreed-upon system is certainly the way forward. Whether or not it is close to what a final solution should be, World ID is making some effort into solving global identification problems https://worldcoin.org/world-id

"global identification" and "final solution" dot sit well together.
Or just standardise the alphabet...
