Names are much more complicated than this. A starting point is pretty much all systems processing names need to consider all possible permutations across all cultures, and select some constraints to operate by. There is no silver bullet here, and in all honesty the authors suggestions seem well intentioned, but don't address any real problem space. When it comes to these considerations for instance, it's possible to have a first name, but no last name and vice-versa. Also, never mind how many words make up a first or last name, but what's the minimum number of characters allowed for each? What characters do they allow, and which shouldn't they? Also, what version of the person are they attached to? Is Dr. J. Stevenson the same identity as Jonathan Stevenson, or Jon Adam Stevenson?
