I concur with the advice to store names as indivisible units -- there are several cultures in which the family name comes first and the individual name is second; and either or both can consist of two unhyphenated words. One tip though is to index the full names by *all* the words including initials -- they contain for matching purposes. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". The enemy of (IT) success is complexity.
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
