Agree that _systems as a whole_ should be designed for one name, but that's often out of the hands of whoever is developing the form. If the system _is_ designed to require a first name/last name, trying to correct for that on the front-end just makes the problem worse in my opinion (e.g. doing something like breaking on space and calling the first bit the "first name" and the second bit the "surname").
