Some institutions store legal names in their directories and for patron
imports, but would also like to be able to record 'preferred' names in the
patro records.

It would be nice to have a field for preferred_name and a method to select the
preferred name when it exists, and the firstname when it doesn't

Following the item we would suggest 'effective_name' - the additional method
can be used in patron-title.inc and in notices to simplify name choice.
