   @hongminhee as a developer we often struggle with this too has there is no real standard. We should make one.

     @russell @hongminhee There's no standard because different cultures do this differently. First+last names in their current Western form are a recent invention, going back a few hundred years max, introduced by early modern bureaucracies. Where dual names were/are used elsewhere, they follow different, varying cultural conventions.

     It's not entirely far-fetched to say first name/last name is a vestige of European colonialism.

     @russell @twilliability @hongminhee that would be a single unsplit text field that the person can write their name in whichever order they choose and in any language that they are typing (full unicode support is a must...)

     @twilliability @hongminhee would be nice to have a standard though as a developer I want something that is understood by all.
