In what context are you doing this? One of the reasons to move to a looser
content model for personname was to allow:

  <personname><honorific>ComesFirst</honorific><surname>Surname</surname>
     <honorific>ComesAfter</honorific></personname>

The are *a lot* of different cultural conventions for the order,
placement, spelling, etc. of names!
