Subject: Rename firstname and surname?


Hi folks,

I've now received (at least) two separate suggestions that we rename
firstname to givenname and surname to familyname. Most recently, here:

If there's community support for this, V5.0 is the time to do it.

Thoughts?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
