Could we also add to this list "the first name comes always first ?", I expect my last name to be entered and displayed first.



Curious, are you French, Chinese or from somewhere else?


Yes, French indeed, well-spotted ! I also enter the last name in capital case, that's part of writing it like this 1000s of times in school.

By the way, for people reading this, from my own experience, at least 30/40% of French people will put the last name first in the form, whatever the text says, so to get better data, the best thing is to put them in the order (last name / first name) for them to reduce the number of errors.


Hungarian names also work like this.
