--- Comment #28 from Martin Renvoize <martin.renvoize at ptfs-europe.com> ---
This works nicely now; To me, the name appears in the right places, looks good
and isn't confusing and is searchable where one would expect it to be.

So.. signing off on that front.

It did make me take a look at some of the other name fields in patrons though,
and that, I found, confusing.

'othernames' appears to partially try to do what this patch does (I'd always
thought of it as 'middle names', but I note that othernames actually appears at
the top of the 'contact information in double-quotes and not aligned with the
rest of the information and with no label.  I also find it slightly strange
that 'lastname' doesn't appear in that contact information block.

So.. in short.. I like this patch, but would like to see a little effort go
into tidying up the members display data in some future bugs.. perhaps Owen
could help there.?
