Comment (by Wang Chun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>):
"Hello, Ming" may make sense in English, but Django is a multilingual web
framework, what if the website not in English at all? I think "你好，明。"
would sound odd even in Taiwan.
Replying to [comment:2 anonymous]:
> Here is Taiwan, 'Hello, Ming' is more common than the more formal
'Hello, Yao Ming' Keep in mind, I am a foreigner and that might affect my
perception.
>
> When creating tables in prior projects, I usually created these columns:
last_name, first_name, middle_name, and full_name. full_name is defaulted
from the other names and, most importantly, should be overridden as
necessary.
>
> Then there is Romanization of Chinese names. I usually put these in
last_name and first_name.
