I would like to "ditto" this. The issue has bit me several times, that I know
of ... don't know how many bads are still out there!

This thread also leads to the issue of a tag to assign a type, if you will, to
the AKA. We document many different types of AKA's. For example, nicknames,
legal surname changes, preferred or commonly used given names, simple
misspellings or documentation errors, name "Americanization", and probably
others. Because of Norwegian patronyms and names changing as folks relocated
in Norway, I have many AKA's documented  simply to be able to see alternative
possibilities in the Name Lists. They really look clunky when they show up in
a report.

I would like to see in future versions an ability to assign a tag to the AKA
and then be able to apply report options to use or not use AKA's by type.

Thanks, Don Cook

Subject: [LegacyUG] Sourcing AKAs


Just a small plea to change the AKA functionality slightly.

When you save a new AKA, the first AKA in the list is highlighted
rather than the new AKA.  As I always source my new AKA straight after
entering it I often find myself sourcing this top one rather than the
one I've just entered.

Can anyone think of a reason why the new AKA should not be highlighted
once saved?
