--- Comment #2 from Sally <sally.healey at cheshiresharedservices.gov.uk> ---
+1.  I agree - this would be very useful for librarians.  The current set up
leads to lots of confusion.  

Most staff lean to adding as much information as possible, especially with
names which are common: e.g.

First name:  John
Last name:  Smith

Becomes:  

First name:  John David
Last name:  Smith

But the addition of the middle name into the first name field means that the
patron match feature doesn't work in all scenarios, because Koha
(understandably) thinks that John David is a very different name to John.
