That brings up a related question:
When putting in a quoted name, where is the most "proper" place to put it?
For example, my Dad was known as BILL. His first name was legally William
and his middle name was Blake. Should I enter his given name as:
William "Bill" Blake
or
William Blake "Bill"
or does it really matter? I was doing the quoted name AFTER all parts of
the given name (ie: after the middle name(s)), but it seems to read better
the other way (right after the first name).
I'm not sure if there is a "proper" way, but it doesn't seem to matter.
I have tried it both ways and Legacy always recognises the quoted name
and uses it appropriately, according to the Options set.
Personally, I prefer the William Blake "Bill" format, because in my head
I read that as "William Blake, or Bill ..." which makes more sense to me
than reading it as "William or Bill Blake ..." Each to his/her own
preference!
