   Friendly reminder that if you're designing any kind of personal information form and you decide to:

   1. Validate names for "bad words"
   2. Put a minimum characters limit on names
   3. Have two separate fields for "first" and "last" name

   Then you're doing it wrong with a shitload of very western-minded assumptions that are not universal and will cause issues

     @sashin @rail_ I have a friend whose surname is Pissin, Italian origin if I'm not wrong. He already had some bad times during registrations... Even google.

     @rail_ Wait, should we just have one field for full name?

     What do you mean "validate names for bad words" like swears?
