It's a stupid design tho

what are you supposed to fill at the first 'name'?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

First name is the name everyone calls you by

Middle name is your second name

Last name is your family name

Hope this helps 😊

thanks man!

What do people enter in the middle name field if a someone's full name is more than 3 words long?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Hyphens or anything but your first and surname goes in middle

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

your last name / family name

[-] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago

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)

I know this is just a meme but you guys really should read the whole thing before filling it in.
