You have two fields: full name and the name you want to be addressed by (e.g. in an email). This should cover the requirements of 99% of apps. You can add another field if really needed.
- est 3y ago> the name you want to be addressed by (e.g. in an email) In fact, I don't want my full name to be addressed anywhere at all. Just call me by the alias I provided.
- jasfi 3y agoThe full name is typically used for billing, or just for record keeping. Your SaaS itself may not need it.
- vintermann 3y agoSubstitute "full name" with "legal name". Then it's the government's problem. Of course if you don't need the legal name it's best not to ask for it.
- globalise83 3y agoWon’t cover all finance apps - your name will most likely need to be submitted for sanctions screening, credit check, KYC checks etc. where understanding first name and last name is very important for cross-checking against other lists which expect the same.
- bloak 3y agoIf a message is automatically generated I'd rather it address me as "Dear Customer" or whatever. In general, perhaps it's better to have something nicely written in the manner of a circular than a badly faked personal message which is likely to impress as less human than the honest and straightforward approach. Spammers and big corporations write "Dear John, Did you know ..."; your local sports club doesn't do that crap.
