I come from a family that traditionally writes names as Familyname Givenname.
But even in our country Firstname Lastname is prevalent among many regions and central government.
I grew up in the 90s and simply resigned that I will always be Givenname Familyname in most systems and documents.
After school I never bothered writing / typing / filling my Familyname first anywhere.
By simply staying consistent with this (wrong) way, I ensured that all my documents perfectly agree with each other. That peace of mind and lack of hassle is worth any "sacrifice" for me. Others may place different value on keeping their conventional names and must also have real reasons to do so too. I was lucky maybe, not to have those hurdles.
