Hopefully it can be resolved with a simple plugin on top of the already made code \
base, and hopefully wouldn't require a major code overhaul from Don Sanders (it just \
depends how far the coding goes down, as far as first names go, but it's probably not \
the latter). :-)

I've always run into a little confusion in this area with my Japanese friends, and \
always find the best way to avoid these issues is to stick to titles like, 'Family \
Name' and 'Given Name'.
