Folks,

The link below to a w3c paper on handling names is pretty good reading.

W3C have recently published a draft document on personal names around the world:

http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names

This is the clearest and most comprehensive review of personal name forms
that I have ever seen. It should be required reading for all database
designers and user-interface developers worldwide, particularly those
working on directory-like systems.
