what are you supposed to fill at the first ‘name’?

First name is the name everyone calls you by

Middle name is your second name

Last name is your family name

Hope this helps 😊

What do people enter in the middle name field if a someone’s full name is more than 3 words long?

Having only a single field for the entire name should be the norm all across the world. Automated systems can call people by their full name (“Hello, Bob Lemon”).

It’s gender neutral, solves sorting issues (e.g. Japanese), people without surnames (e.g. some African tribes, iirc) and whatnot.

This is nonsence though, they’re making up nonsence to sell a nonsence argument.

They list a lot of countries and say they have naming conventions which aren’t simple but they’re ignoring the fact those countries have a legal requirement for a child to be given a legal name and that legal name can only be changed by official process - my tax software doesn’t need to worry if your mom calls you squgglewoo written as a squiggle that’s not your name

Sorry to be a bother, but it’s nonsense.

The article doesn’t say that you must support all people’s names, only that you should make fewer of the assumptions (not even none)
