Aspen behavior is outside our scope here, though it is important.
There's an argument to be made that it will never get easier than it is now to
rename those fields so firstname is legal_name and preferred_name is ...
something else? legal_name and first_name (where first_name is what's currently
named preferred_name) makes a lot of sense to me right up until I try to
imagine explaining the change to someone. But, again, maybe it's best to tear
the bandaid now? Come to a Koha community dev meeting and see what people say
to the idea!
