Deignating a particular cardinality just looks kinda wrong to me, tho of course everyone else's mileage is pretty much guaranteed to vary. How about just midnames? Then you won't run into problems with typical medieval/Renaissance Spanish names (where they tacked on long lineages), or that guy whose name starts with 128 repetitions of "Shri". :-) Or possibly "midname" and "more_midnames"? Or you could go the other way and separate the name only into family_name and given_names. Question is, is it ever important to have a given specific one of the (given) names? -Dave -- Specialization is for insects. -RAH | Have Pun, Will Babble! -me Programming Blog: http://codosaur.us | Work: http://davearonson.com Leadership Blog: http://dare2xl.com | Play: http://davearonson.net * * * * * WATCH THIS SPACE * * * * * | Ruby: http://mars.groupsite.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
