This is tricky because it depends on the language, and it's hard to know
what language a name is encoded in. It's not necessarily the language of
the current localization, which is what __() would be expected to use.
I ended up adding a language column to my names table and then writing a
custom function that assembles the name according to the language. (It's
not just asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, but also
european languages such as Hungarian, AIUI.)
As a side note, to avoid confusion I would call the fields "given" and
"family", not "first" and "last".
