>People whose names break my system are weird outliers. They should have had solid, acceptable names, like 田中太郎. >No, your system is badly designed. >People have names. >This one is perhaps the most difficult for which to give solid examples. There was an isolated culture in which no one had names – they referred to everyone in relative terms, such as “my mother’s eldest sister”. So taking the last two statements together, any system that assumes a name exist is thus poorly designed? Some of these examples are things people need to take into account, but that doesn't mean bad design. A well designed system takes into account that there is a business need and a business budget. To ignore the constraints of real world situation makes less sense than ignoring the one culture where people don't have names at all.
