Yes, and to be perfectly clear don't have a minimum length (either empty or nullable) and make it mutable, in any case where you're doing some form of soft identification (e.g. "Hi, $NAME, here is your reservation" or "I am calling from $COMPANY, may I speak with $NAME?") Also, tell me what the purpose you're using my name for, e.g. "Name as it appears on your payment card/passport/ID/SSN" helps tremendously in resolving ambiguity. Also, consider not asking for a name at all unless there's actually a good reason.
