Except you would expect that it's basic design to account for both very short names ("Li Pho") and reasonably long names ("Christopher Tannenbaum-Greenspan").

If your name tags don't work with slightly longer names, your name tags are broken, not the names. OTOH these days I'm happy when receiving mail from the US if the address wasn't mutilated by converting Unicode to ASCII or using HTML escapes. Especially when ordering things to my company address, which has an ampersand in the company name and an umlaut in the city.
