Comment (by Thom Wiggers):
As an aside: maybe it is a good idea to make this same change for first
names. There's probably going to be someone who breaks the current limit,
either with or without including middle names.
E.g. there's some guy named "James <all james bond films> Bond"* according
to [http://mentalfloss.com/article/18271/names-too-long-name-tags-even-
comically-oversized-ones some clickbait site].
Maybe this is more something for another mailing list discussion to reach
some concensus though: in that case it's probably more something for a new
issue.
