Like, human names are entirely culture-dependent, and in most cultures (including the Western Hemisphere culture) completely free-form?
Even when people adhere to that norm rigorously (which they don't), it's completely unusable as a unique identifier, and is of dubious utility to disambiguate two distinct humans in many scenarios?
That there's not even any real agreement on spelling (especially as, with some, it will need to be spelled in multiple alphabets)?
If this stuff's not old news to you, you haven't ever worked with it.
The one that will really make you want to curl up in a corner and whimper are the problems with birthdays.
