.... fuck
happens every single time
It's a stupid design tho
what are you supposed to fill at the first 'name'?
First name is the name everyone calls you by
Middle name is your second name
Last name is your family name
Hope this helps ๐
thanks man!
What do people enter in the middle name field if a someone's full name is more than 3 words long?
Hyphens or anything but your first and surname goes in middle
your last name / family name
Having only a single field for the entire name should be the norm all across the world. Automated systems can call people by their full name ("Hello, Bob Lemon").
It's gender neutral, solves sorting issues (e.g. Japanese), people without surnames (e.g. some African tribes, iirc) and whatnot.
This is nonsence though, they're making up nonsence to sell a nonsence argument.
They list a lot of countries and say they have naming conventions which aren't simple but they're ignoring the fact those countries have a legal requirement for a child to be given a legal name and that legal name can only be changed by official process - my tax software doesn't need to worry if your mom calls you squgglewoo written as a squiggle that's not your name
Sorry to be a bother, but it's nonsense.
The article doesn't say that you must support all people's names, only that you should make fewer of the assumptions (not even none)
