Here is another opinion... Don't do it.
How many people in the world have a name that is longer than 30 chars first or last name? Few... Divide that by all the people in the world (and have ever lived) -- just in case you are cataloging everybody who has ever lived. I would say you are really wasting time/money and adding unreasonable risk - for a very small percentage... And - BTW -- 100 characters wont be enough -- so you have another problem right away anyway...

I can imagine the impact of such change might be rather wide as those fields are referred in many other forms in ITSM such as People and subsequently all main forms in other modules where people details are recorded. I was wondering if anybody went through such a change and would not mind sharing their experience. My preferred option would be to avoid this change all together, but would like to get another opinion.
