The User model included in Authentication subsystem is very annoying to use here in Brazil. The common "first name" and "last name" method of identifying people found in English speaking countries is very unnatural to our culture, which people usually have two or more family names. It is a cultural trait of here that renders unsuitable the splitting of the name into first and last on the model. There are countries/cultures with other people naming customs that is also hard to localize with this model [1][2].
What about changing this in future versions? Maybe simply a "true_name" field would do? Or maybe a way to customize the fields in the User model.
