https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39245 Bug ID: 39245 Summary: Preferred name should give option to replace more than first name Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 24.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: cbrannon@cdalibrary.org QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com We have a patron, for example only: Johnathan David Smith. He goes by JD. But the preferred name only replaces the first name. There should be an option to also exclude the middle name. Right now the preferred name shows the patron name as JD David Smith. Should only show JD Smith. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

Do you suggest preferred name always include middle name, or that it be an option? Would that option be set per-patron or globally? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

Interesting! Do you suggest preferred name always include middle name, or that it be an option? Would that option be set per-patron or globally?
I would say it should at least be an option per user and not global. There might be a library somewhere that thinks if you use a nickname that you would want to do a blanket removal of the middle name with it, but at least per user would give you that option. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

In the Johnathan David Smith example, if he goes by David as the preferred name, it displays as David David Smith. It would make more sense just to see David Smith. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
