Feature request from kassner, posted on GitHub Feb 06, 2015

Hi,

Can you guys think about merging all customer's name-related fields (prefix, firstname, middlename, lastname and suffix) into a single name field? I think this makes magento a more international product.

Motivational literature: http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names http://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/ http://blog.jgc.org/2010/06/your-last-name-contains-invalid.html

Thanks!
