In China, people are referred to as
Surname Firstname
causing many westerners to misunderstand the name of the actress in Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Zhang Ziyi
(first name = Ziyi) who, when she began working more with North American
filmmakers, became better known as Ziyi Zhang.
Separately, one reason I believe that (in GNUmed) we came to the name display
format
Surnames, Firstnames
is because the comma efficiently permits to distinguish a transition or
separation.
One option for the display within GNUmed could be
Surnames, Firstnames, Title
Another could be a configurational item.
All of the above is separate from printing, wherein the distinct placeholder
'title' allows flexible placement.
